Cross Sections for the Astrophysical Neutron Radiative Capture on 12C and 13C Nuclei

Abstract

Within the potential cluster model with Pauli forbidden states the possibility of description of the experimental data on the total radiative n12C- and n13C-capture cross sections in the astrophysical energy range from 25 meV to 1.0 MeV is presented. The E1-transition covers the capture data from the scattering states to the ground one of 13C and 14C nuclei. Capture on the three low laying excited states 1/2+, 3/2- and 5/2+ of 13C was calculated.
