Abstract
The E1 capture cross section for the reaction (α,γO to the ground state has been measured for 3.00 MeV. A γ-ray–recoil-particle coincidence technique has been used to obtain essentially background-free reaction yields. A three-level R-matrix analysis of the E1 S factor leads to an allowed range for at 300 keV of 0.00–0.14 MeV b. A model-dependent R-matrix analysis and a hybrid R-matrix analysis result in values of 0.14 and 0.08 MeV b, respectively, for (300).
