Abstract

Additional experimental information concerning the level structure of Si26 above the proton threshold is needed to reduce uncertainties in the Al25(p,γ)Si26 reaction rate and consequently better determine Al26 radioisotope production in astrophysical environments. The Mg24(He3,n)Si26 reaction was measured and excitation energies of states in Si26 were determined with improved accuracy. Spins were assigned to a number of states by comparing their measured differential cross sections with Hauser-Feshbach cross sections. The 3+ resonance state of the Al25(p,γ)Si26 reaction was identified at 5912(4)keV excitation energy and the Al25(p,γ)Si26 reaction rate in explosive hydrogen burning environments was calculated.
