TL;DR: In this paper, the available information on the nuclear-fusion cross sections that are most important for solar energy generation and solar neutrino production is reviewed and analyzed, and best values for the low-energy cross-section factors and, wherever possible, estimates of the uncertainties are provided.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of experiments has been performed to determine whether nuclear fusion processes occur in palladium rods that have been electrochemically charged with deuterium, but no evidence has been obtained for any excess enthalpy, neutron, gamma ray, tritium or helium production during electrolysis of D_20 with palladium cathodes.

TL;DR: The LUNA project as discussed by the authors is a pilot project focused initially on cross section measurements of the reaction within the thermal energy region of the sun, and the experimental sensitivity was improved by more than four orders of magnitude over that of previous work.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the cross sections for proton capture by Be 7 measured at bombarding energies of 800 keV and 1400 keV, respectively, from which the corresponding cross section factors were S = 0.027±0.010 and 0.017± 0.007.

TL;DR: The absolute cross section of the [sup 3]H([alpha],[gamma])[sup 7]Li reaction has been measured, and the energy dependence of the measured [ital S] factors is found to be in agreement with existing theoretical calculations.
