14N(3He,d)15O as a probe of direct capture in the 14N(p,γ)15O reaction -: art. no. 055804

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.
