Abstract
The astrophysical S-factor for the direct [Formula: see text] capture reaction is calculated in a three-body model based on the hyperspherical Lagrange-mesh method. A sensitivity of the E1 and E2 astrophysical S-factors to the orthogonalization method of Pauli forbidden states in the three-body system is studied. It is found that the method of orthogonalising pseudopotentials (OPP) yields larger isotriplet ([Formula: see text]) components than the supersymmetric transformation (SUSY) procedure. The E1 astrophysical S-factor shows the same energy dependence in both cases, but strongly different absolute values. At the same time, the E2 S-factor does not depend on the orthogonalization procedure. As a result, the OPP method yields a very good description of the direct data of the LUNA collaboration at low energies, while the SUSY transformation strongly underestimates the LUNA data.
