Analysis of the 16O(p,γ)17F capture reaction using the shell model embedded in the continuum

We apply the realistic shell model which includes the coupling between many-particle (quasi-)bound states and the continuum of one-particle scattering states, called the Shell Model Embedded in the Continuum, to the spectroscopy of mirror nuclei: F-17 and O-17, as well as to the description of low energy cross section (the astrophysical S factor) for El, E2 and M1 components in the capture reaction O-16(p,gamma)F-17. With the same microscopic input we calculate the phase shifts and differential cross section for the elastic scattering of protons on O-16. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
