Abstract: We report here a determination of the asymptotic normalization coefficient of the valence neutron in 8Li from a measurement of the angular distribution of the 7Li(8Li,7Li)8Li reaction at 11 MeV. Using isospin symmetry the 8B ANC has also been calculated and used to infer a value for S17(0) of 20.2 ± 4.4 eV b. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
