Abstract

The ¹⁸Ne(α,p)²¹Na reaction plays a crucial role in the (α,p) process, which leads to the rapid proton capture process in X-ray bursts. The reaction rate depends upon properties of ²²Mg levels above the α threshold at 8.14 MeV. Despite recent studies of these levels, only the excitation energies are known for most with no constraints on the spins. We have studied the ²⁴Mg(p,t)²²Mg reaction at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF), and by measuring the angular distributions of outgoing tritons, we provide the first experimental constraints on the spins of astrophysically- important ¹⁸Ne(α,p)²¹Na resonances.
