| Abstract: | Carbon-carbon burning plays an important role in many stellar environments. Recently, Tumino et al. [Nature (London) 557, 687 (2018)] reported a sharp rise of the astrophysical S factor for carbon-carbon fusion determined using the indirect Trojan horse method. We demonstrate that the rise at low energies seen in the aforementioned work is an artifact of using an invalid plane-wave approximation that neglects the Coulomb interactions between charged particles. Our analysis shows that such a rise disappears if the Coulomb (or Coulomb-nuclear) interactions in the initial and final states are included. |
