Abstract
The relationship between the Coulomb displacement energy for the A=8, J=2+, T=1 state and the low-energy astrophysical S factor for the Be7(p,gamma)B8 reaction is discussed. The displacement energy is interpreted in a particle-hole model. The dependence of the particle displacement energy on the potential well geometry is investigated and is used to relate the particle displacement energy to the rms radius and the asymptotic normalization of the valence proton wave function in B8. The asymptotic normalization is used to calculate the astrophysical S factor for the Be7(p,gamma)B8 reaction. The relationship to the Li7(n,gamma) reaction, the B8 quadrupole moment, radial density, and break-up momentum distribution are also discussed.
