Abstract

The rate of the ¹⁷F(p,γ) ¹⁸Ne reaction is of significant importance in astrophysical events like novae and x-ray bursts. A 3⁺ state in ¹⁸Ne predicted to dominate the rate was found at 599.8 keV using the ¹⁷F(p,p)¹⁷F reaction [1], but the resonance strength was nknown. For the first time, the ^{F17 18}Ne reaction has been measured directly with the Daresbury Recoil Separator, using a mixed beam of radioactive ¹⁷F and stable ¹⁷O from the HRIBF at ORNL. A γ width was found for the 599.8 keV resonance in ¹⁸Ne, and an upper limit on the direct capture S factor was determined at an intermediate energy of 800 keV. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.
