Isospin Effects on Astrophysical S-Factors

Abstract

We estimate the ratios of bare astrophysical S-factors at zero incident energy for proton and deuteron induced reactions in a model which assumes a compound nucleus formation probability plus a statistical decay. The obtained ratios agree well with available experimental values, as far as the reactions which have dominant s-wave entrance channel components are investigated. Due to its simplicity the model could be used as a guidance for predictions on reactions which have not been investigated yet.
