Study of the Reaction and the Influence of the Isomer on the Destruction of in the Galaxy
Abstract
The existence of 26Al (t1/2 = 7.17 × 105 yr) in the interstellar medium provides a direct confirmation of ongoing nucleosynthesis in the Galaxy. The presence of a low-lying 0+ isomer (26Alm), however, severely complicates the astrophysical calculations. Here we present for the first time a study of the 26Alm (d, p)27 Al reaction using an isomeric 26Al beam. The selectivity of this reaction allowed the study of ℓ = 0 transfers to T = 1/2, and T = 3/2 states in 27Al . Mirror symmetry arguments were then used to constrain the 26Al m (p,γ) 27Si reaction rate and provide an experimentally determined upper limit of the rate for the destruction of isomeric 26Al via radiative proton capture reactions, which is expected to dominate the destruction path of 26Alm in asymptotic giant branch stars, classical novae, and core collapse supernovae.
