The reaction cross section for the direct radiative proton capture on the the drip line nucleus 12N—12N(p,gamma)13O—was studied at the Cyclotron Institute/Texas A&M University using the indirect asymptotic normalization coefficient method. This reaction is important in the hot pp chain nuclear burning processes in hydrogen-rich massive objects (Population III stars). The astrophysical S-factor of the direct proton capture was determined at zero energy yielding a value of S<sup>DC</sup><sub>1--12</sub> = 0.31(5) keV b. Interference between direct and resonant capture leads to a further enhancement of a factor of two. ©2008 American Institute of Physics
