Primordial deuterium abundance from calculations of $p(n,γ)$ and $d(p,γ)$ reactions within potential-model approach

The $p(n,γ)$ and $d(p,γ)$ reactions are key nuclear inputs for Big Bang nucleosynthesis. In this work, both reactions are analyzed within a consistent two-body potential framework based on the Malfliet-Tjon interaction, including contributions from both $E1$ and $M1$ transitions. A single scaling factor $λ$ controlling the low-energy scattering dynamics is constrained by the $p(n,γ)$ and propagated consistently to the $d(p,γ)$. The obtained abundance, $\mathrm{D/H} = 2.479^{+0.350}_{-0.177}\times 10^{-5}$, is in good agreement with values inferred from metal-poor damped Lyman-$α$ systems. The modest variations of $λ$ lead to a significant change in the predicted $\mathrm{D/H}$ ratio and light-element abundances.

Low-energy $^{3}$He($α,γ$)$^{7}$Be reaction within the Skyrme potential framework

\textbf{Background:} The $^{3}$He($α,γ$)$^{7}$Be reaction plays a crucial role in the proton-proton chain and Big Bang nucleosynthesis, affecting solar neutrino fluxes and primordial element abundances. Experimental data at astrophysical energies remain uncertain due to the extremely low cross sections. \\ \textbf{Purpose:} This work uses a microscopic potential-model approach to construct the $^{3}$He+$α$ potential from the nucleon+$α$ interaction, aiming to describe low-energy elastic scattering and to calculate the astrophysical $S$ factor of the $^{3}$He($α,γ$)$^{7}$Be reaction. \\ \textbf{Method:} The nucleon-nucleus potential is derived from self-consistent Skyrme Hartree-Fock (HF) calculations extended to the continuum. The $^{3}$He+$α$ potential is then obtained by folding the HF potential with the $^{3}$He density. A small number of scaling parameters is constrained by elastic-scattering data.\\ \textbf{Result:} The scaled Skyrme HF potential and folded potential simultaneously reproduce the low-energy $p$+$α$ and $^{3}$He+$α$ $s$-wave phase shifts, respectively. The calculated astrophysical $S$ factor of $^{3}$He($α,γ$)$^{7}$Be shows good agreement with experimental data, yielding the recommended value $S_{34}(0) = 0.610 \pm 0.024$~keV~b. A moderate sensitivity of $S_{34}(0)$ to the choice of projectile density is also observed in the folding procedure. \\ \textbf{Conclusion:} The Skyrme HF-based potential provides a unified and predictive microscopic framework for describing both elastic scattering and radiative capture in light nuclei.

A global potential constrained by the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization condition for $α$-decay half-lives of even-even nuclei

The $α$ decay provides valuable constraints on nuclear structure and plays an essential role in identifying heavy and superheavy nuclei. We study $α$-decay half-lives of 178 even-even nuclei within a semi-classical WKB framework using a phenomenological Woods-Saxon $α$-nucleus potential. The potential depth is determined by imposing the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization condition (BSQC), ensuring a physically consistent description of the quasibound $α$-daughter system. To facilitate large-scale calculations, a global parametrization of the BSQC-constrained potential depth is constructed. The resulting half-lives reproduce experimental data with comparable accuracy for both the direct BSQC approach and the fitted prescription, providing a first step toward a global and computationally efficient description of $α$ decay.
