Abstract

While recent measurements have substantially improved our understanding of the ¹⁸F(p,α)¹⁵O reaction that is important in novae, the production of ¹⁸F is still uncertain by more than 2 orders of magnitude, due in large part to the contribution of a resonance located at E_cm = 330 keV.We developed a new technique to study resonant (p,α) reactions and employed it to measure properties of the E_cm = 183 keV resonance in ¹⁷O(p,α)¹⁴N which had been previously reported to decrease ¹⁸F production in ONeMg novae by as much as a factor of 10. The previous results were confirmed using the new technique and we now propose to use this technique to study the ¹⁸F(p,α)¹⁵O reaction.
