New Determination of the Astrophysical S Factor S E 1 of the C 12 ( α , γ ) O 16 Reaction
Description
A new measurement of the β-delayed α decay of N16 has been performed using a set of high efficiency ionization chambers. Sources were made by implantation of a N16 beam, yielding very clean α spectra down to energies as low as 400 keV. Our data are in good agreement with earlier results. For the S factor SE1, we obtain a value of 74±21 keV b. In spite of improvements in the measurement, the error in SE1 remains relatively large because of the correlations among the fit parameters and the uncertainties inherent to the extrapolation.
