Spectroscopic study of ²⁰Ne+p reactions using the JENSA gas-jet target to constrain the astrophysical ¹⁸F (p, α)¹⁵O rate

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ²⁰Ne(p, d), (p, ³He), E=30 MeV; measured E(d), I(d), ³He spectrum, particle identification spectrum, σ(θ) using SIDAR silicon detector array, and JENSA natural Ne gas target at Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF). DWBA analysis using optical model parameters. ¹⁹Ne, ¹⁸F; deduced levels, and compared with previous experimental results. ¹⁸F(p, α)¹⁵O; deduced coefficients to parametrize the astrophysical reaction rates.
