Abstract

A feasibility study was undertaken for the measurement of the resonance at $E_{r}$ =545 keV in the ${}^{13}N$ (p,γ $)^{14}$ O reaction, using intense radioactive ion beams. The analog resonance at $E_{r}$ =512 keV in ${}^{12}C$ (p,γ $)^{14}$ N was chosen as a test case, leading to improved knowledge of the resonance parameters. Thin- and thick-target yields were obtained with ${}^{13}C$ beams on an extended gas target and a polyethylene foil, respectively. In addition, thin and thick targets of enriched ${}^{13}C$ were irradiated with proton beams. Normalization problems arising with mixed ion beams $(^{13}$ N $/^{13}$ C) are discussed.
