Cross-section measurements to low-lying excited final states in the 24M(α,p)27Al*(γ) reaction as an energy source for x-ray bursts
Abstract
Energy production in Type Ia x-ray bursts depends on a number of nuclear reactions that become efficient in a hot environment (up to 2 GK). Model sensitivity studies have been performed in an effort to better identify the reactions that have the largest effect, but these efforts are hampered by the high level of complexity of the astrophysical model and large nuclear physics uncertainties. In a recent study, the 24Mg(α,p)27Al reaction was found to significantly affect the energy generation in x-ray bursts. This manuscript reports the first study of the 24Mg(α,p1,2γ)27Al reaction at energies relevant for x-ray bursts. In conclusion, the branches to the 27Al excited states increase to a small degree the estimates of the total astrophysical 24Mg(α,p)27Al reaction rate.
