Re-analysis of radiative capture11C(p, γ)12N at low energy

Abstract

Abstract Within the framework of the modified potential model, we computed the astrophysical S-factor of the proton radiative capture p + 11C → 12N + γ. At energies bearing astrophysical importance, radiative capture is a key process in the spectroscopic study of 12N. In this work, we consider the radiative capture cross-section for the proton capture by 11C within the framework of the potential model. For the possible electric and magnetic dipole transitions, we computed the partial components of the astrophysical S-factor within the energy range E = (0.01–0.8) MeV. The computed value of the S-factor at zero energy shows satisfactory agreement with the reported results. Furthermore, we computed the radiative capture rates for the selected reaction, which shows a better comparison with the reported data.
