Experimental study of the N-14(p, gamma)O-15 reaction at high and low energies

The 14N(p,gamma)15O reaction controls the rate of the hydrogen burning CNO cycle. The solar CNO neutrino flux which may be detected e.g. in Borexino and SNO+ can in principle be used to measure the carbon and nitrogen abundance at the center of the Sun, thus addressing the "solar abundance problem". However this requires more precise nuclear data. Updated results from the experimental study performed at the LUNA facility (Gran Sasso National Laboratories, Italy) in the energy range E_p = 0.36 - 0.4 MeV and from the high-current FZD Tandetron (Dresden) in the range E_p = 0.6 - 2.0 MeV are presented.
