N-14(He-3,D)O-15 As A Probe Of Direct Capture In The N-14(P,Gamma)O-15 Reaction

Spectroscopic factors and asymptotic normalization coefficients (ANCs) have been determined for bound states in O-15 using the N-14(He-3,d)O-15 reaction. These results are used to calculate the astrophysical S factor for direct capture in the N-14(p,gamma)O-15 reaction. We also discuss how uncertainties in optical-model parameters influence both the spectroscopic factors and the ANCs, and the effect that this has on the predicted direct-capture reaction rate.
