Abstract

The strength of the Ec.m.=184keV resonance in the Al26g(p,γ)Si27 reaction has been measured in inverse kinematics using the DRAGON recoil separator at TRIUMF's ISAC facility. We measure a value of ωγ= 35±7μeV and a resonance energy of Ec.m.=184±1keV, consistent with p-wave proton capture into the 7652(3) KeV state in Si 27, and discuss the implications of these value for Al 26g nucleosynthesis in typical oxygen-neon white-dwarf novae. © 2006 The American Physical Society.
