Within the framework of a modified potential cluster model with forbidden states, radiation n12C capture at energies from 10-5 keV to 5 MeV is considered, taking into account a wide resonance at Ex = 8.2 MeV. It is shown that on the basis of potentials that are consistent with the energies of the bound states, it is possible to correctly transfer the available experimental data. Based on the obtained total cross sections, the n12C capture reaction rate was calculated. The results for reaction rate are approximated by simple expressions, which simplifies their use in applied research.
Different theoretical models for two- and three-body electromagnetic currents are constructed using meson-exchange mechanisms and minimal substitution in the momentum dependence of two- and three-nucleon interactions. We review the use of effective field theory (EFT) to compute electromagnetic reactions in three-nucleon systems at very low energies. We first explain how EFT theory can be extended to incorporate the photon into the three-nucleon systems when also a three-nucleon force is acting. We also explain the predictions of the resulting EFT for neutron–deuteron radiative capture process at very low energies. In this work, a number of low-energy photonuclear observables, including neutron–deuteron radiative capture reactions and triton photodisintegration, are calculated in order to make a comparative study of the pion-less EFT results with the models based on the realistic Argonne v18(AV18) two-nucleon and Urbana IX or Tucson–Melbourne three-nucleon interactions. The calculated cross-section of neutron–deuteron radiative capture and photon polarization parameter of 3 H are in satisfactory agreement with the available experimental data.
