Scientific paper

Pycnonuclear triple-alpha reaction rates are calculated for mass densities from 10 exp 8 to 5 x 10 exp 9 g/cu cm. The plasma is assumed to be a fluid phase of alpha particles interacting through both nuclear and Coulomb potentials. It is described by Jastrow-type two-body correlations. The many-body wave function is determined variationally within a space of trial two-body wave functions that reproduce the expected long- and short-range behaviors of the correlations. The resulting three-body fusion rates are compared to previous calculations.
