Abstract
The E1 and M1 contributions to Be-7(p, gamma)B-8 at low energies are calculated in halo effective field theory. The excited Be-7() 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 1(+) resonance state of B-8 is included. We compare our results with previous halo effective field theory calculations that also included the Be-7() 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 S-17(0) = 21.0(7) eV b when combined with the expected theory error. (AU)
