First result of the cross sectional measurement of 3He-3He solar reaction in OCEAN

The first result in OCEAN measurement of the fusion reactions 3He(3He,2p)α at the energy of 40 to 50 keV by means of a low-energy, high current accelerator are reported. The accelerator in this facility can produce an intense beam of 3He1+ and 3He2+ ions of more than 1mA. A detection efficiency for proposed detector assembly of ΔE-E counter telescope is simulated with GEANT program and it expects a detection efficiency about 10% for the two proton coincidence for 3He+3He→2p+α reaction. The accuracy of Monte Carlo program was checked by D(3He,p)α reaction by replacing the target gas to deuterium.
