چکیده

The astrophysical S factor for the proton weak capture on He is calculated with correlated-hypersphericalharmonics bound and continuum wave functions corresponding to realistic Hamiltonians consisting of the Argonne v14 or Argonne v18 two-nucleon and Urbana-VIII or Urbana-IX three-nucleon interactions. The nuclear weak charge and current operators have vector and axial-vector components that include oneand many-body terms. All possible multipole transitions connecting any of the p-He Sand P-wave channels to the He bound state are considered. The S factor at a p-He center-of-mass energy of 10 keV, close to the Gamow-peak energy, is predicted to be 10.1310 keV b with the AV18/UIX Hamiltonian, a factor of .4.5 larger than the value adopted in the standard solar model. The P-wave transitions are found to be important, contributing about 40% of the calculated S factor. The energy dependence is rather weak: the AV18/UIX zero-energy S factor is 9.64310 keV b, only 5% smaller than the 10 keV result quoted above. The model dependence is also found to be weak: the zero-energy S factor is calculated to be 10.2310 keV b with the older AV14/UVIII model, only 6% larger than the AV18/UIX result. Our best estimate for the S factor at 10 keV is therefore (10.160.6)310 keV b, when the theoretical uncertainty due to the model dependence is included. This value for the calculated S factor is not as large as determined in fits to the Super-Kamiokande data in which the hep flux normalization is free. However, the precise calculation of the S factor and the consequent absolute prediction for the hep neutrino flux will allow much greater discrimination among proposed solar neutrino oscillation solutions.

Parity nonconserving observables in thermal neutron capture on a proton

Abstract We calculate parity nonconserving observables in the processes where a neutron is captured on a proton at the threshold energy radiating a photon. Various potential models such as Paris, Bonn and Argonne v18 are used for the strong interactions, and the meson-exchange description is employed for the weak interactions between hadrons. The photon polarization Pγ in the unpolarized neutro...

Weak capture of protons by protons

The cross section for the proton weak capture reaction H(p,eνe) H is calculated with wave functions obtained from a number of modern, realistic high-precision interactions. To minimize the uncertainty in the axial two-body current operator, its matrix element has been adjusted to reproduce the measured Gamow-Teller matrix element of tritium β decay in model calculations using trinucleon wave fu...

Muon Capture and the Pseudoscalar Form Factor of the Nucleon

Ordinary (μp → νμn) and Radiative (μp → νμγn) Muon Capture (OMC, RMC) on a proton are venerable subjects in nuclear physics (e.g. ref.). After having served for decades as a testing ground for the symmetries and structure of the weak interaction, today these reactions can also be regarded as unique tests of the axial structure of the nucleon as mandated by the explicitly and spontaneously broke...

A Review of Aerogel Applications in Adsorption and Catalysis

Aerogels are a special class of porous material, which have excellent physicochemical properties such as low density, high porosity, high surface area and adjustable surface chemistry. Aerogels were first prepared several decades ago, but never truly commercialized due to their high cost. Technological advancements in the production and quality of different types of aerogel cut costs down and m...
