First inverse kinematics study of the ²²Ne(p, γ)²³Na reaction and its role in AGB star and classical nova nucleosynthesis

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹H(²²Ne, γ)²³Na, E=161-1274 keV/nucleon from ISAC-I-TRIUMF facility, followed by mass separation of ²²Ne fragments; measured Eγ, Iγ, heavy-ion evaporation products, (recoils)γ-coin, time-of-flight spectra using DRAGON array and microchannel plate (MCP) detectors. ²³Na; deduced levels, proton resonances, resonance strengths, direct capture cross sections and astrophysical S factors, thermonuclear reaction rates from 0.010 to 10.0 GK. Predicted ejecta mass fractions for ^20,21,22Ne, ^22,23Na, ^24,25,26Mg, ^26,27Al. Comparison with previous experimental results.
