Scientific paper

We summarize recent microscopic calculations of several low-energy reactions important to astrophysics, involving A ≤ 7 nuclei. For nuclei in the p-shell these calculations have used variational Monte Carlo techniques for the initial and final state clusters, and optical potentials for the scattering wave functions. Work is now proceeding to improve both the scattering description and the cluster structure by use of Green's function Monte Carlo methods. Additional reactions involving up to A=12 nuclei should be feasible in the future. Extensions to treat coupled-channel problems are under development. These techniques might be used to study tritium-induced reactions on light nuclei relevant to fusion energy applications.
