This procedure overcomes some of the recognized experimental uncertainties of previous measurements$^3$. The $^7$Be target was prepared at ISOLDE (CERN) by direct implantation of a radioactive $^7$Be beam into a Cu substrate using a new laser ionization source. A test target of low intensity, but sufficient to perform the measurement of the cross-section at one energy of E$_p$=1.2 MeV, was used. The measurement was carried out at the 3 MV Van-de-Graaf accelerator at the Weizmann Institute. The use of the Cu substrate avoids the issue of backscattering of reaction products$^2$ out of the target, which now appears to have caused additional uncertainty in previous experiments. The cross section of the $^7$Li(d,p)$^8$Li reaction, of major importance for calibrating the $^7$Be(p,$\gamma$)$^8$B, was determined using the same apparatus to be 155 mb at the top of the 776 keV resonance. The result of the present S$_{17}$(E$_p$=1.2 MeV) = 22.5$\pm$2.5 eV-barn, within experimental errors of previous measurements$^3$. We expect to have more intense targets in the near future with prospects of improved measurements and reduced errors. \vspace{0.5 cm} References:\\ (1) L.Weissman, M.Hass and V. Popov, Nucl. Inst.
