Search for resonant enhancement of the $^7$Be+d reaction*

$^7$Li abundances in the early universe extrapolated from observations are several standard deviations lowers than that produced by Big Bang Nucleosynthesis calculations constrained by WMAP. Since most $^7$Li is produced by the beta decay of $^7$Be, one proposed solution to this mystery is a resonant enhancement of the $^7$Be($d,p$)2$\alpha$ reaction rate via the 5/2$^+$ 16.7 MeV state in $^9$B. The $^7$Be($d,d$) reaction was done at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to search for such a resonance. This was performed in inverse kinematics using a 10 MeV $^7$Be beam and a thick CD$_2$ target. Experimental data will be shown and results will be discussed.
