Abstract

In stellar-evolution models, the 13N(p, γ)14O reaction plays an important role in the hot CNO cycle. Its reaction rate depends directly on the magnitude of the radiative width of the 5.17 MeV level in 14O. That width has been measured using the Coulomb break-up technique. A 70 MeVu14O beam was excited in the Coulomb field of a 208Pb target, the 13N and proton fragments being recorded using a magnetic spectrometer and CsI scintillators, respectively. The experimental value Γγ = 2.4 ± 0.9 eV is in overall agreement with other recent measurements.
