Abstract
The radiative capture 14C(p, γ)15N is analyzed within the framework of potential model (PM) and R-matrix framework. The capture cross-section was analyzed for non-resonant and resonant transitions within the pathways that involve radiative capture via electric dipole (E1), and magnetic dipole (M1) transitions. The non-resonant transitions include E1 via s- and d-wave capture. The resonant transitions include electric dipole (E1), and magnetic dipole (M1) from the three dominant resonant states above the threshold of p+14C to the ground state of 15N. Based on the total cross-section, the rates associated with p+14C →15N+γ have been analyzed. In this paper, the resonant capture rates dominate compared to the existing data because, at resonant energies the amplitude of the cross-sections have a dominant effect on the radiative capture rates within the T9 = 1.
