  The 27Al(p,a)24Mg reaction, which drives the destruction of 27Al and the
production of 24Mg in stellar hydrogen burning, has been investigated via the
Trojan Horse Method (THM) by measuring the 2H(27Al,a24Mg)n three-body reaction.
The experiment covered a broad energy range (-0.5 MeV < E_cm < 1.5 MeV), aiming
to investigate those of interest for astrophysics.The results confirm the THM
as a valuable technique for the experimental study of fusion reactions at very
low energies and suggest the presence of a rich pattern of resonances in the
energy region close to the Gamow window of stellar hydrogen burning (70-120
keV), with potential impact on astrophysics. To estimate such an impact a
second run of the experiment is needed, since the background due the three-body
reaction hampered to collect enough data to resolve the resonant structures and
extract the reaction rate.
