The 10B(p,{\gamma})11C reaction is of significant interest in nuclear astrophysics and in the field of controlled thermonuclear fusion. This reaction is one of the reactions of 11B production, which is carried out through the 10B(p,{\gamma})11C(\b{eta}+{\nu})11B chain. The rate of the 10B(p,{\gamma})11C reaction (occurring in the interiors of first-generation stars) can be of great importance for the amount of 10B and 11B observed today in the interstellar medium and in the Earth's crust. In thermonuclear reactors, structural elements containing boron can be used as neutron absorbers, etc. Therefore, in this work, within the framework of a modified potential cluster model with a classification of orbital states according to Young's diagrams and taking into account allowed and forbidden states, we examined the possibility of describing the available experimental data for the total cross sections of the radiative p10B capture to the ground state of the 11C nucleus at energies up to 1 MeV. It is shown that only on the basis of E1 and M1 transitions from the p10B scattering states, taking into account the first resonance for the ground state of the 11C nucleus, it is quite possible to explain the magnitude and shape of the experimental astrophysical S-factor. The work presents comparisons the astrophysical S-factors of the radiative p10B capture to the ground state of the 11C nucleus found by us with the experimental data available in the literature. Based on the obtained theoretical S-factor, the rate of this reaction was calculated in the temperature range from 0.01 to 1 T9. The calculated results for rates are approximated by a simple expression, which simplifies their use in applied thermonuclear and astrophysical research., Comment: 10 P., 2 FIG., 1 TAB
