Investigation of the Nuclear Cross-Sections for Proton Capture Reactionsin the Star Formation Process of the Galaxies

Understanding the CNO cycle and the proton-proton (p-p) chain is essential for comprehending the development of main sequence stars in the initial stages of spiral and elliptical galaxy formation. This study investigates two nuclear reactions that occur in spiral galaxies and elliptical galaxies. Using theoretical computer software (e.g. OriginPro. software program), we summarized the excitation functions to analyze the (p,γ) interaction cross sections of 7Be(p,γ)8B, 12C(p,γ)13N, 14N(p,γ)15O, and 15N(p, γ)12C. In the p-p series and CNO cycle with energy up to 8 MeV. In this work, we compared the theoretical values from the ENDF/B-VII library with the estimated database of nuclear fusion cross sections in hydrogen-burning stellar objects from CSC-GM and TALYS. For these nuclei, cross sections can be calculated at low energies within the pp chain and CNO cycle. Therefore, we were able to calculate only four finite elements in the CNO cycle and the pp series.

Abstract

Understanding the CNO cycle and the proton-proton (p-p) chain is essential for comprehending the development of main sequence stars in the initial stages of spiral and elliptical galaxy formation. This study investigates two nuclear reactions that occur in spiral galaxies and elliptical galaxies. Using theoretical computer software (e.g. OriginPro. software program), we summarized the excitation functions to analyze the (p,γ) interaction cross sections of 7Be(p,γ)8B, 12C(p,γ)13N, 14N(p,γ)15O, and 15N(p, γ)12C. In the p-p series and CNO cycle with energy up to 8 MeV. In this work, we compared the theoretical values from the ENDF/B-VII library with the estimated database of nuclear fusion cross sections in hydrogen-burning stellar objects from CSC-GM and TALYS. For these nuclei, cross sections can be calculated at low energies within the pp chain and CNO cycle. Therefore, we were able to calculate only four finite elements in the CNO cycle and the pp series.
