The abundance of {sup 18}F in Nova explosionsis an important issue in understanding this astrophysical phenomenon. For this reason it is necessary to study processes that produce or destroy this isotope in novae. Among these latter processes, the {sup 18}F(p,{alpha}){sup 15}O stands as one of the main {sup 18}F destruction channels. We report here on the status of a new experiment recently performed using the CRIB apparatus of the Center for Nuclear Study of the Tokyo University based at the RIKEN Wako branch.
