Abstract

We present measurements of the 12C(p, γ0)13N/13C(p, γ0)14N S factor ratio at Ep=160 keV. The overall result of 0.33±0.03 is in good agreement with the value of this ratio obtained from previous experimental values of the S factors for the 12C(p, γ0) 13N and the 13C(p, γ0) 14N reactions. A value for the total S factor ratio of S[12C(p, γtotal)]/S[13C(p, γtotal)] = 0.24±0.03 is computed by correcting the 13C(p, γ0) S factor for transitions to the other intermediate states. The direct + resonance model calculation of this ratio and the impact on the CNO cycle are also explored.
