First spin-parity constraint of the 306 keV resonance in for nova nucleosynthesis
Abstract
Something of particular interest in astrophysics is the 34 S ( p , γ ) 35 Cl reaction, which serves as a stepping stone in thermonuclear runaway reaction chains during a nova explosion. Although the isotopes involved are all stable, the reaction rate of this significant step is not well known, due to a lack of experimental spectroscopic information on states within the Gamow window above the proton separation threshold of 35 Cl . Furthermore, measurements of level spins and parities provide input for the calculation of resonance strengths, which ultimately determine the astrophysical reaction rate of the 34 S ( p , γ ) 35 Cl proton capture reaction. By performing the 37 Cl ( p , t ) 35 Cl reaction in normal kinematics at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, we have conducted a study of the region of astrophysical interest in 35 Cl , and have made the first-ever constraint on the spin and parity assignment for a level at 6677 ± 15 keV ( E r = 306 keV), inside the Gamow window for novae.
