At very low energies of astrophysical interest, the 7Be(p,γ)8B reaction is almost totally peripheral. Consequently, the overall normalization of the cross section for this reaction is defined by the asymptotic normalization coefficient of the bound-state wave function of 8B in the two-body channel 7Be+p. The reaction 7Be(3He,d)8B is suggested as a tool to measure this asymptotic normalization coefficient thereby allowing one to define the absolute value of the astrophysical factor, S17(0), for the 7Be(p,γ)8B reaction.
