摘要
Strong evidence of the nucleosynthesis of Galactic Al-26 has been found through measurements involving excesses in Mg-26 from the decay of Al-26 in meteoritic inclusions and the 1.809-MeV gamma-ray line detected by satellites such as CGRO and INTEGRAL. Several sites for the production of Al-26 have been suggested, including ONe novae. Destruction of Al-26 in ONe novae is possible via the reactions Al-26(g)(p,gamma)Si-27 and Al-26(m)(p,gamma)Si-27. In the present work, resonance parameters for the Al-26(m)(p,gamma)Si-27 reaction have been determined via studies of the Al-27(He-3,t)Si-27*(p)Al-26(m) and Si-28(He-3,alpha)Si-27*(p)Al-26(m) reactions. Several new Al-26(m) + p resonances have been discovered within 1 MeV above the proton threshold of 7.691 MeV. Excitation energies and proton-branching ratios for those and previously known states are reported.
