The 15N(p,gamma)16O reaction controls the passage of nucleosynthetic material from the first to the second carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) cycle. A direct measurement of the total 15N(p,gamma)16O cross section at energies corresponding to hydrogen burning in novae is presented here. Data have been taken at 90-230 keV center-of-mass energy using a windowless gas target filled with nitrogen of natural isotopic composition and a bismuth germanate summing detector. The cross section is found to be a factor two lower than previously believed.

  1. Background in $\gamma$-ray detectors and carbon beam tests in the Felsenkeller shallow-underground accelerator laboratory

    nucl-ex 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The Felsenkeller shallow-underground laboratory achieves gamma-ray backgrounds low enough, and carbon beam currents high enough, to make a sensitive measurement of carbon-12(alpha,gamma)oxygen-16 appear feasible.
