Carp have no teeth so ditch the leader you don't need it. Use the least amount of weight you can get away with.
Hooking and fighting a Carp is more fun then landing one
Bring a net if you want to get a picture, and good luck

I have 15 lb braid on my reel and it has the diameter of 4 lb test so can I use it with or with out a leader, just so the carp do not feel the braid?

If you feel you need a leader then by all means. Carp fishing like most fishing can be as simple or as sophisticated as you like I use mono only, I'm simple.
