Abstract

The N14(p,γ)O15 reaction has been investigated by measuring the angular distributions of its cross section and analyzing power using a 270keV polarized proton beam. Calculations using a direct-capture-plus-resonance model were compared with the data. The results indicate the presence of γ transition amplitudes which were not considered in previous extrapolations of the astrophysical S factor to low energies. The impact on the zero-energy S factor of the N14(p,γ)O15 reaction is discussed.
