The 12C(p,γ) and 13C(p,γ) reaction cross sections are currently under investigation in the low-background environment of the Laboratory for Underground Nuclear Astrophysics. Both reactions are being studied using different types of solid targets, and employing complementary detection techniques (HPGe spectroscopy, total absorption spectroscopy and activation counting). To reduce systematic uncertainties, targets must be accurately characterized and their degradation monitored under the intense (~ 400 µA) beam of the LUNA400 accelerator. We present the experimental techniques employed, and the analyses developed for the study of these reactions.
