Bound-to-continuum approach for low-energy reactions and its implication in nuclear astrophysics

The Skyrme Hartree-Fock framework proves to be a powerful tool for microscopically analyzing low-energy proton-induced reactions, especially in nuclear astrophysics. The cross-sections of proton radiative capture reactions were examined using the bound-to-continuum potential model. Both single-particle bound and scattering states were obtained to calculate the reduced matrix element of the electromagnetic transitions. The low-energy behavior of the astrophysical $S$ factor was extracted. Moreover, the proposed framework can offer a practical approach to explain nuclear scattering at the energies near the proton-emission threshold with minimal experimental input.
