A Bayesian analysis of the modified astrophysical factor S∗(E) for the 12C + 12C fusion reaction is presented using available data at carbon–carbon energies Ecm < 3.5 MeV, including direct measurements, Coulomb-renormalized Trojan Horse Method results, and recent inverse-kinematics data.
The inference is performed for y(E) = log10 S∗(E), represented by a quadratic polynomial in energy with...
