Where can I find the astrophysical S-factors for those thermonuclear reactions that produce electron neutrinos?

Hello,
although not specific to neutrino reactions, there are experimental databases of the S-factor for most astrophysical nuclear reactions, as:
and also theoretical predictions by nuclear models (see for example: )
Kind regards.
Good morning Dr. Fontana.
Thank you for your information, I appreciate it. I have been reading the article you just shared and it is really helpful. I was wondering if you have some information about the Astrophysical S-factor when it is evaluated in the gamow peak (S(E_0)). I checked a couple of articles and they had the value for some neutrino reactions, but not all of them. I have e.g. p + p, but they do not have the rest of them. I'd appreciate it if you may give me a hand with this, because I've been stuck at this and also need an expression for events number in a solar neutrino detector.
Thank you very much.
Best regards.
