The 14 N ( p , γ ) 15 O low - energy S - factor

چکیده
The 14N(p,γ )15O low-energy S-factor is analyzed using the R-matrix model. We find that the g.s. contribution is less than previously reported. The S-factor is mainly given by the 6.79 MeV state contribution which is determined by its asymptotic normalization constant (ANC). Consequently, the S-factor at zero energy is lower by a factor of 1.7 compared to the values given in recent compilations. This result may affect the nucleosynthesis and time scale evolution in massive stars. New measurements of the 14N(p,γ )15O cross section over a wide energy range, and especially at low energies, are highly desirable. Significant improvement could be also obtained from the ANC measurement of the 6.79 MeV state. 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 24.10.-i; 25.40.Lw; 25.40.Qa; 26.20.+f

S - factor of 14 N ( p , γ ) 15 O at astrophysical energies ?
The astrophysical S(E) factor of N(p, γ)O has been measured for effective center-of-mass energies between Eeff = 119 and 367 keV at the LUNA facility using TiN solid targets and Ge detectors. The data are in good agreement with previous and recent work at overlapping energies. R-matrix analysis reveals that due to the complex level structure of O the extrapolated S(0) value is model dependent a...
متن کاملExtremal Cuts of Sparse Random Graphs
For Erdős-Rényi random graphs with average degree γ, and uniformly random γ-regular graph on n vertices, we prove that with high probability the size of both the Max-Cut and maximum bisection are n( γ 4 + P∗ √ γ 4 + o( √ γ)) + o(n) while the size of the minimum bisection is n( γ 4 − P∗ √ γ 4 + o( √ γ)) + o(n). Our derivation relates the free energy of the anti-ferromagnetic Ising model on such ...
متن کاملR-matrix Analysis of CNO Cycle Reactions
A multi-channel R-matrix code has been developed and used to analyse two key reactions in the CNO cycle. The N(p,γ)O reaction determines the rate of operation of the CN cycle and is critical in determining the age of globular clusters, which give estimates for the age of the universe. The low energy S-factors determined are in good agreement with recent estimates. A preliminary analysis of the ...
متن کاملA Theoretical Study of Nonlinear Optical Features of Alumina Nanostructures with the Groups III and VI Dopants
A comprehensive study on the structural, electronic and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of alumina nanostructures (Al2O3)n with n = 2-5 belonging to the groups III and VI dopants carried out by density functional theory. The NBO charges exhibit dopant atoms caused to the increasing charge transfer and introduces acceptor-donor model for NLO response of alumin...
متن کاملExperimental study of the 14N(p,gamma)15O reaction at energies far below the Coulomb barrier
At stellar temperatures, the N(p,γ)O reaction is the slowest of the carbon-nitrogenoxygen (CNO) cycle of thermonuclear reactions. The CNO cycle burns hydrogen into helium and dominates energy production at some point in the lifetime of most stars. The objective of the present work is to improve our knowledge of the CNO cycle by making a precise measurement of the N(p,γ)O reaction cross section ...
