Description

I discuss the basic concepts of the Trojan Horse Method in nuclear astrophysics and the opportunity it offers to determine the cross sections of various stellar burning reactions when it is difficult to perform the corresponding direct measurements. I will focus on recent results to investigate carbon burning and primordial nucleosynthesis.
