Improving the 33S(p,γ)34Cl Reaction Rate for Models of Classical Nova Explosions

Reduced uncertainty in the thermonuclear rate of the 33S(p,γ)34Cl reaction would help to improve our understanding of nucleosynthesis in classical nova explosions. At present, models are generally in concordance with observations that nuclei up to roughly the calcium region may be produced in these explosive phenomena; better knowledge of this rate would help with the quantitative interpretation of nova observations over the S‐Ca mass region, …
