Therefore, the first scientific project at the recently launched Bellotti Ion Beam Facility of the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso was the measurement of the 14N(p,γ)15O reaction cross section in the proton energy range between 250 and 1500 keV. In this paper, the experimental techniques are summarized with special emphasis on the description of solid state nitrogen target production and characterization. The first results of the reaction yield measured at 55∘ detection angle are also presented.112726084engNuclear and High Energy Physicsjournal article10.1140/epja/s10050-025-01658-7https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/105013222317https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/WOS:001550338400001
