摘要
Background: The nucleosynthesis of several proton-rich nuclei is determined by radiative proton-capture reactions on unstable nuclei in nova explosions. One such reaction is 23 Mg( p , gamma ) 24 Al, which links the NeNa and MgAl cycles in oxygen-neon novae. Purpose: The purpose of our study is to extract 23 Mg( p , gamma ) resonance strengths from proton-unbound states in 24 Al, produced via the 24 Mg( 3 He , t ) reaction. Methods: A beam of 3 He 2 + ions at 50.7 MeV is used to produce the states of interest in 24 Al. Proton-triton angular correlations are measured with a K = 600 QDD magnetic spectrometer and a silicon detector array, located at iThemba LABS, South Africa. Results: We measure the excitation energies of the four lowest proton-unbound states in 24 Al and place lower limits on Gamma p/Gamma values for these four states. Together with shell-model calculations of partial gamma widths, the experimental data are also used to determine resonance strengths for the four lowest 23 Mg( p , gamma ) 24 Al resonances. Conclusions: The energy of the dominant first 23 Mg( p , gamma ) resonance is determined to be Er = 478 +/- 4 keV, with a resonance strength of omega gamma = 19 +/- 9 meV.
