Abstract
Neutron induced reactions on stable and unstable nuclei play a significant role in the nucleosynthesis of the elements in the cosmos. In the last years, several efforts have been made to investigate the possibility of applying the Trojan Horse Method (THM) to neutron induced reactions mostly by using deuteron as “TH-nucleus”. Here, the main advantages of using THM will be given together with a more focused discussion on the recent 7Be(n,α)4He and the 14N(n,p)14C reactions.
