The optical potentials that are used to describe the nuclear interaction of $^{15}$C with the target nucleus are realistic because the fits to the two measured spectra, one with a small and one with a very large acceptance angle, are consistent and of similar quality. The cross section for the radiative neutron capture on $^{14}$C to the 1/2$^+$ ground state of $^{15}$C is deduced from the analysis. When combined with an estimated contribution from the capture to the 5/2$^+$ excited state of $^{15}$C, an excellent agreement with a recent direct capture measurement is achieved.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-08-24T18:00:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "27.20.+n", "25.60.Gc", "25.70.De", "25.40.Lw", "99.10.Cd" ], "keywords": [ "radiative neutron capture", "coulomb dissociation", "large acceptance angle", "direct capture measurement", "decay-energy spectra" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review C", "year": 2009, "month": "Aug", "volume": 80, "number": 2, "pages": "024608" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 829387, "adsabs": "2009PhRvC..80b4608E" } } }
