Electro-weak Capture Reactions for Astrophysics
نویسنده
چکیده
The status of ab initio microscopic calculations of the H(p, γ)He and He(p, eνe) He reactions is reviewed. The methods used to generate accurate nuclear groundand scattering-state wave functions, and to construct realistic electro-weak transition operators are described. The uncertainties in the theoretical predictions, particularly those relevant to the p He weak capture, are discussed. For the dp radiative capture, the theoretical results are compared with the TUNL data in the energy range 0–100 keV.

Interactions, Currents, and the Structure of Few-nucleon Systems
Our current understanding of the structure of nuclei with A ≤ 8, including energy spectra, electromagnetic form factors, and weak transitions, is reviewed within the context of a realistic approach to nuclear dynamics based on two-and three-nucleon interactions and associated electro-weak currents. Low-energy radiative and weak capture reactions of astrophysical relevance involving these light ...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Structure of Few-Nucleon Systems: a Critical Review
In the present talk I will review the simple, traditional picture of the nucleus as a system of point-like nucleons interacting among themselves via effective many-body potentials, and with external electro-weak probes via effective many-body currents. I will also discuss the extent to which this picture, the so called “nuclear standard model”, is successful in predicting a number of nuclear pr...
متن کاملComputer Generation of Process Explanations in Nuclear Astrophysics Generating Explanations in Astrophysics
In this paper we describe Astra, a computational aid for generating process explanations in nuclear astrophysics. The system operates in two stages, the rst using knowledge of quantum theory to produce a set of legal reactions among elements and the second searching for pathways of such reactions that explain the construction of some element from lighter ones. Astra has found apparently novel r...
