Carbon-carbon fusion reaction represents a nuclear process of great interest in astrophysics, since the carbon burning is connected with the third phase of massive stars (M > 8 M circle dot) evolution. In spite of several experimental works, carbon-carbon cross section has been measured at energy still above the Gamow window moreover data at low energy present big uncertainty. In this paper we report the results about the study of the reaction O-6(C-12, alpha Ne-20)alpha as a possible three -body process to investigate C-12(C-12,alpha)(20) Ne at astrophysical energy via Trojan Horse Method (THM). This study represent the first step of a program of experiments aimed to measure the C-12+C-12 cross section at astrophysical energy using the THM.
