Abstract
While recent measurements have substantially improved our understanding of the 18F(p, α)15O reaction that is important in novae, the production of 18F is still uncertain by more than 2 orders of magnitude, due in large part to the contribution of a resonance located at Ecm = 330 keV. We developed a new technique to study resonant (p, α) reactions and employed it to measure properties of the Ecm = 183 keV resonance in 17O(p, α)14N which had been previously reported to decrease 18F production in ONeMg novae by as much as a factor of 10. The previous results were confirmed using the new technique and we now propose to use this technique to study the 18F(p, α)15O reaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
