Astrophysical S-Factor of p7Bе Capture at Low Energies

Abstract

In the modified potential cluster model, the possibility of describing the astrophysical S-factor of radiative p⁷Ве→⁸Bγ capture to the ground state of the ⁸B nucleus at energies from 10 keV to 1 MeV is considered. Potentials of intercluster interactions, matched to the spectra of the ⁸B nucleus for scattering processes, and the potential of the bound 3Р2 ground state in the p7Ве cluster channel are constructed. The resonance in the 3P1 scattering wave at the energy 0.722 MeV, which leads to an М1-transition to the ground state, is considered. Total cross sections and the reaction rate of p7Ве capture are calculated in the temperature range from 0.01·Т9 to 5·Т9.
