Title: Nucleon direct-semidirect radiative capture with Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-BCS bound states

Abstract

The nucleon direct-semidirect (DSD) capture cross sections are obtained by calculating a transition amplitude to the Hartree-Fock-BCS bound states. The radial matrix elements in the DSD amplitudes are calculated from the radial part of the single-particle wave functions. For deformed nuclei the single-particle states are expanded in the cylindrical harmonic-oscillator basis and then projected on the spherical harmonic-oscillator basis. The pairing correlations are treated in the BCS approach and the calculated spectroscopic factors are in fairly good agreement with experimental data in the even tin isotopes from {sup 116}Sn to {sup 124}Sn. The resulting DSD cross sections for the neutron capture by {sup 208}Pb and {sup 238}U are found to be in good agreement with the available experimental data. The calculations are also performed for the neutron capture on {sup 122}Sn and {sup 132}Sn isotopes that are important for the r-process in astrophysics.
