The reaction theory of Fano is applied to the analysis of the ${}_{}{}^{15}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{N}(p,{\gamma }_0){}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ data vis à vis the ${}_{}{}^{14}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{N}(d,{\gamma }_0){}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ data. The result is consistent with the Gillet model which attributes the structure near 22.9 MeV in ${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ to a 2p-2h quasibound state.

NUCLEAR STRUCTURE ${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$; extracted resonance energy of quasibound state from ${}_{}{}^{15}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{N}(p,\gamma ){}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ data. Compared to Gillet's model.
