Asymptotic normalization coefficients from the {sup 14}C(d,p){sup 15}C reaction

The {sup 14}C(n, {gamma}){sup 15}C reaction plays an important role in inhomogeneous big bang models. In Timofeyuk et al.[Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 162501 (2006)] it was shown that the {sup 14}C(n, {gamma}){sup 15}C radiative capture at astrophysically relevant energies is a peripheral reaction, i.e., the overall normalization of its cross section is determined by the asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC) for {sup 15}C{yields}{sup 14}C+n. Here we present new measurements of the {sup 14}C(d, p){sup 15}C differential cross sections at deuteron incident energy of 17.06 MeV and the analysis to determine the ANCs for neutron removal from the ground and first excited states of {sup 15}C. The results are compared with previous estimations.
