Lowest l=0 Proton-Resonance in 26Si and Implications for Nucleosynthesis of 26Al

ORAL

Abstract

The first successful experiment to determine the 25Al (p,gamma)26Si reaction rate using a radioactive beam of 25Al is presented here. The experiment was carried out using the new in-flight radioactive beam production facility, known as RESOLUT, at The Florida State University. The analogous single proton transfer reaction d(25Al,26Si)n was measured. Details of the RESOLUT beamline and detection scheme for the experiment will be discussed. Results from this experiment, including implications for the rp-process and stellar nucleosynthesis of 26Al will be presented.
