contents An effective field theory (EFT) for a nuclear reaction at low energies is studied. The astrophysical $S$-factor of radiative $α$ capture on $^{12}$C at the Gamow-peak energy, $T_G=0.3$ MeV, is a fundamental quantity in nuclear-astrophysics, and we construct an EFT for the reaction. To fix parameters appearing in the effective Lagrangian, the EFT is applied to the study for three reactions: elastic $α$-$^{12}$C scattering at low energies, $E1$ transition of radiative $α$ capture on $^{12}$C, and $β$ delayed $α$ emission from $^{16}$N. We report an estimate of the $S_{E1}$-factor of the reaction through the $E1$ transition at $T_G$ by employing the EFT. We also discuss applications of EFTs to nuclear reactions at low energies.
