The $^{14}textrm{N(p,}gammatextrm{)}^{15}textrm{O}$ reaction is the slowest reaction of the carbon-nitrogen cycle of hydrogen burning and thus determines its rate. The precise knowledge of its rate is required to correctly model hydrogen burning in asymptotic giant branch stars. In addition, it is a necessary ingredient for a possible solution of the solar abundance problem by using the solar $^{13}$N and $^{15}$O neutrino fluxes as probes of the carbon and nitrogen abundances in the solar core. After the downward revision of its cross section due to a much lower contribution by one particular transition, capture to the ground state in $^{15}$O, the evaluated total uncertainty is still 8%, in part due to an unsatisfactory knowledge of the excitation function over a wide energy range. The present work reports precise S-factor data at twelve energies between 0.357-1.292~MeV for the strongest transition, capture to the 6.79~MeV excited state in $^{15}$O, and at ten energies between 0.479-1.202~MeV for the second strongest transition, capture to the ground state in $^{15}$O. An R-matrix fit is performed to estimate the impact of the new data on astrophysical energies. The recently suggested slight enhancement of the 6.79~MeV transition at low energy could not be confirmed. The present extrapolated zero-energy S-factors are $S_{6.79}(0)$~=~1.24$pm$0.11~keV~barn and $S_{rm GS}(0)$~=~0.19$pm$0.05~keV~barn.

The $^{15}{rm N}(p,gamma)^{16}{rm O}$ reaction provides a path from the CN cycle to the CNO bi-cycle and CNO tri-cycle. The measured astrophysical factor for this reaction is dominated by resonant capture through two strong $J^{pi}=1^{-}$ resonances
at $E_{R}= 312$ and 962 keV and direct capture to the ground state. Recently, a new measurement of the astrophysical factor for the $^{15}{rm N}(p,gamma)^{16}{rm O}$ reaction has been published [P. J. LeBlanc {it et al.}, Phys. Rev. {bf C 82}, 055804 (2010)]. The analysis has been done using the $R$-matrix approach with unconstrained variation of all parameters including the asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC). The best fit has been obtained for the square of the ANC $C^{2}= 539.2$ fm${}^{-1}$, which exceeds the previously measured value by a factor of $approx 3$. Here we present a new $R$-matrix analysis of the Notre Dame-LUNA data with the fixed within the experimental uncertainties square of the ANC $C^{2}=200.34$ fm${}^{-1}$. Rather than varying the ANC we add the contribution from a background resonance that effectively takes into account contributions from higher levels. Altogether we present 8 fits, five unconstrained and three constrained. In all the fits the ANC is fixed at the previously determined experimental value $C^{2}=200.34$ fm${}^{-1}$. For the unconstrained fit with the boundary condition $B_{c}=S_{c}(E_{2})$, where $E_{2}$ is the energy of the second level, we get $S(0)=39.0 pm 1.1 $ keVb and normalized ${tilde chi}^{2}=1.84$, i.e. the result which is similar to [P. J. LeBlanc {it et al.}, Phys. Rev. {bf C 82}, 055804 (2010)]. From all our fits we get the range $33.1 leq S(0) leq 40.1$ keVb which overlaps with the result of [P. J. LeBlanc {it et al.}, Phys. Rev. {bf C 82}, 055804 (2010)]. We address also physical interpretation of the fitting parameters.
The La-based 214 cuprates host several symmetry breaking phases including superconductivity, charge and spin order in the form of stripes, and a structural othorhombic-to-tetragonal phase transition. Therefore, these materials are an ideal system to
study the effects of uniaxial stress onto the various correlations that pervade the cuprate phase diagram. We report resonant x-ray scattering experiments on $textrm{La}_{1.475}textrm{Nd}_{0.4}textrm{Sr}_{0.125}textrm{Cu}textrm{O}_{4}$ (LNSCO-125) that reveal a significant response of charge stripes to uniaxial tensile-stress of $sim$ 0.1 GPa. These effects include a reduction of the onset temperature of stripes by $sim$ 50 K, a 29 K reduction of the low-temperature orthorhombic-to-tetragonal transition, competition between charge order and superconductivity, and a preference for stripes to form along the direction of applied stress. Altogether, we observe a dramatic response of the electronic properties of LNSCO-125 to a modest amount of uniaxial stress.
New high precision total and differential cross sections are reported for the $dpto {}^3textrm{He},eta$ reaction close to threshold. The measurements were performed using the magnetic spectrometer ANKE, which is an internal fixed target facility at t
he COSY cooler synchrotron. The data were taken for deuteron beam momenta between $3.14641~textrm{GeV}/c$ and $3.20416~textrm{GeV}/c$, which corresponds to the range in excess energy $Q$ for this reaction between $1.14~textrm{MeV}$ and $15.01~textrm{MeV}$. The normalization was established through the measurement in parallel of deuteron-proton elastic scattering and this was checked through the study of the $dpto {}^3textrm{He},pi^0$ reaction. The previously indicated possible change of sign of the slope of the differential cross sections near the production threshold, which could be explained by a rapid variation of the $s$- and $p$-wave interference term, is not confirmed by the new data. The energy dependence of the total cross section and the $90^{circ}$ slope parameter are well explained by describing the final state interaction in terms of a complex Jost function and the results are significant in the discussion of $eta$-mesic nuclei. In combination with recently published WASA-at-COSY data [P. Adlarson $et, al.$, Phys. Lett. B 782, 297 (2018)], a smooth variation of the slope parameter is achieved up to an excess energy of $80.9~textrm{MeV}$.
The $^{12}$C+$^{12}$C fusion reaction plays a crucial role in stellar evolution and explosions. Its open reaction channels mainly include $alpha$, $p$, $n$, and ${}^{8}$Be. Despite more than a half century of efforts, large discrepancies remain among
the experimental data measured using various techniques. In this work, we analyze the existing data using the statistical model. Our calculation shows: 1) the relative systematic uncertainties of the predicted branching ratios get smaller as the predicted ratios increase; 2) the total modified astrophysical S-factors (S$^*$ factors) of the $p$ and $alpha$ channels can each be obtained by summing the S$^*$ factors of their corresponding ground-state transitions and the characteristic $gamma$ rays while taking into account the contributions of the missing channels to the latter. After applying corrections based on branching ratios predicted by the statistical model, an agreement is achieved among the different data sets at ${E}_{cm}>$4 MeV, while some discrepancies remain at lower energies suggesting the need for better measurements in the near future. We find that the recent S$^*$ factor obtained from an indirect measurement is inconsistent with the direct measurement at energies below 2.6 MeV. We recommend upper and lower limits for the ${}^{12}$C+${}^{12}$C S$^*$ factor based on the existing models. A new $^{12}$C+$^{12}$C reaction rate is also recommended.
The astrophysical S-factor of 14N(p,gamma)15O has been measured for effective center-of-mass energies between E_eff = 119 and 367 keV at the LUNA facility using TiN solid targets and Ge detectors. The data are in good agreement with previous and rece
nt work at overlapping energies. R-matrix analysis reveals that due to the complex level structure of 15O the extrapolated S(0) value is model dependent and calls for additional experimental efforts to reduce the present uncertainty in S(0) to a level of a few percent as required by astrophysical calculations.
