The absolute cross section σ ( E ) for the radiative capture reaction 7 Be(p, γ ) 8 B at the center-of-mass energies E =0.32 to 2.61 MeV has been measured using a 7 Be target deposited on a Cu backing and observing the β -delayed α -particles from 8 B. The backing causes a loss of less than 1% of the 8 B residual nuclides. The resulting astrophysical S ( E ) factor at zero energy, S (0)=18.4±1.6 eV b, is consistent only with a restricted data set from previous work.
