abstract = {Studying interactions of radioactive ions with neutrons is particularly demanding and has been performed only in a
few cases. Some of these interactions are crucial in several astrophysical contexts. In the present work, the case of
the 7Be destruction induced by the (n, α) reaction is investigated at the energies typical of the primordial
nucleosynthesis by means of the Trojan Horse Method applied to the 2H(7Be, αα)p quasi-free reaction. The
7Be(n, α)4He cross-section has been measured in a single experiment from ∼2 MeV down to cosmological
energies. The corresponding deduced reaction rate has been adopted to evaluate the impact on big bang
nucleosynthesis and on the lithium problem.},
