8B capture reactions. The 8B (or 8Li) nucleus is defined by a mixing of (α+ 3He)+ p and (α+
p)+ 3He (or mirror) configurations. We investigate the sensitivity of different observables with
respect to the nucleon-nucleon interaction by considering four different Volkov forces. For all
of them, the model fairly reproduces most of the experimentally known spectroscopic
properties of the 8B and 8Li mirror nuclei. Recent measurements of the quadrupole …
