Direct capture cross section of $^{9}$Be(n,$gamma$)$^{10}$Be


Abstract in English

The cross section of the $^{9}$Be(n,$gamma$)$^{10}$Be reaction was calculated in the direct capture model. All parameters of the calculations were adjusted to properties of the $^{9}$Be + n system at thermal energies. The calculated cross section at thermonuclear energies shows the expected $1/v$ behavior of $s$-wave capture at low energies, but increases towards higher energies as typical $p$-wave capture. Excellent agreement between new experimental data in the astrophysically relevant energy region and the present calculation is found.
