The ${}^6$Li$(p,\gamma {)}^7$Be reaction rate in the light of the new LUNA data

Abstract

We present new calculations of the astrophysical $S-$factor and reaction rate for the ${}^6$Li$(p,\gamma {)}^7$Be reaction at energies of 10 keV to 5 MeV in the framework of a modified potential cluster model with forbidden states, including low lying resonances. The astrophysical $S(E)-$factor is compared with the available experimental data and calculations done within different models. The results for the $S-$factor are in good agreement with the data set (for $E<0.3$ MeV) and calculations (for $E<0.6$ MeV) of LUNA collaboration (Phys. Rev. C 102$,$ 052802, 2020). The recommended extrapolated zero value $S(0)$ turned out to be 101 eV $\cdot$ b. Using the theoretical total cross-sections$,$ the ${}^6$Li$(p,\gamma {)}^7$Be capture reaction rate is calculated at temperatures ranging from 0.01 to 10 $T_9$ and compared with NACRE and NACRE II. Analytical expressions for the $S-$factor and reaction rate are given, and the effect of low-lying resonances on the reaction rate is estimated. We suggest to update the NACRE and NACRE II databases in light of the new LUNA data and present calculations.
