Study of the N-13(d,N) O-14 Reaction Cross-section and its Astrophysical Implications for the N-13 Proton Capture Reaction

The total cross section for the N-13(d, n)O-14g.s. reaction has been measured with N-13 radioactive beams at laboratory energies of 8.2, 12.0, 16.2, and 28.5 MeV. A spectroscopic factor of 0.9 is obtained from a distorted-wave Born approximation analysis of this transfer reaction. The astrophysical S factor for the N-13(p,gamma)O-14 reaction is calculated using the experimentally known resonance parameters for the resonant contribution and the direct-capture model with the experimental spectroscopic factor for the non-resonant contribution.
