The 26gAl(p,γ)27Si reaction in novae

The 184 keV resonance strength in the ²⁶gAl(p,γ) ²⁷Si reaction was measured in inverse kinematics using the DRAGON facility at TRIUMF-ISAC. We obtain a value of γ=35±7 μeV for the strength and ER=184±1 keV for the resonance energy. These values are consistent with p-wave capture into the 7652(3) keV state in ²⁷Si. We discuss the implications of these results for ^26gAl nucleosynthesis in a typical O-Ne white dwarf nova. © Copyright owned by the author(s).
