Cross section measurement of ¹⁴N(p, γ)¹⁵O in the CNO cycle

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹⁴N(p, γ)¹⁵O, E=0.7-3.6 MeV; measured Eγ, Iγ, γ(θ), differential σ(E) for ground-state and 6.79 MeV transitions using the 1MV JN and 4 MV KN Van de Graaff accelerators at the University of Notre Dame. TiN and implanted ¹⁴N targets. ¹⁵O; deduced levels, resonances, J, π, astrophysical S factors. Multichannel R-matrix analysis. Relevance to CNO cycle in stars.
