Abstract
The astrophysical S-factor of the reaction has been studied at range of bombarding energy 1–1.30 MeV. The process is important in low energy astrophysics so that a possible source of energy in massive stars which have spent their hydrogen cycle. Using the Wood-saxon potential model, we have been calculated non resonances the astrophysical S-factors for the transition and our results for MeV is MeV.b where from experimental is measured to is MeV.b (Couch et al., 1971) that in comparison with our data good agreement is achieved for the astrophysical S-factor of this process.
Highlights
The 14N (α,γ) 18F reaction is one of the processes of interest in nuclear astrophysics. Nitrogen isotopes especially 14N is used in the Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen (CNO) hydrogen-burning cycle
We study the radiative capture 14N (α,γ) 18F reaction by using RADCAP computer code
The astrophysics factor based on theoretical results in zero energy (Eα = 0.0) is S ≈ o. 7 MeV.b [1] and our results for Eα = 0.0 MeV is S ≈ 0.5 MeV.b which this model potential is in good agreement with other methods
Summary
The 14N (α,γ) 18F reaction is one of the processes of interest in nuclear astrophysics. Nitrogen isotopes especially 14N is used in the Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen (CNO) hydrogen-burning cycle. It is an important source of 22Ne, with another α capture, which is a neutron source for the s-process 22Ne (α,n)25Mg. The 14N (α,γ) 18F reaction is a substitute source of energy for the mass low stars where degenerated helium-burning [3,4].
