Globular cluster stars exhibit star-to-star anticorrelations between oxygen and sodium in their atmospheres. An improved description of the sodium-destroying ²³Na +p reaction rates is essential to understanding these observations. We present an energy analysis of ²⁴Mg states based on a new measurement of the ²³Na(³He, d) ²⁴Mg reaction. A key resonance in ²³Na(p, γ) ²⁴Mg is found to be at $$E$$ $$^{c.m.}_{r}$$ = 133(3) keV, 5 keV lower than previously adopted. This finding has a dramatic effect on the ²³Na(p, γ) ²⁴Mg reaction rate, increasing it by a factor of 2 for the recommended rate. Furthermore, the nucleosynthesis impact of this change is investigated.
