Coupled-channels treatment of $^7\mathrm{Be}(p,\gamma)^8\mathrm{B}$ in effective field theory
Abstract
The E1 and M1 contributions to at low energies are calculated in halo effective field theory. The excited core is included as an explicit degree of freedom in a coupled-channels calculation. The E1 transition is calculated up to next-to-next-to-leading order. The leading contribution from M1 transition that gives significant contribution in a narrow energy region around the resonance state of B is included. We compare our results with previous halo effective field theory calculations that also included the as an explicit degree of freedom. We disagree with these previous calculations in both the formal expressions and also in the analysis. Bayesian inference of the data gives eV b when combined with the expected theory error.
