Title: 24Mg(p, α)21Na reaction study for spectroscopy of 21Na

Abstract

The Mg-24(p, alpha)Na-21 reaction was measured at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in order to better constrain the spins and parities of the energy levels in Na-21 for the astrophysically important F-17(alpha, p)Ne-20 reaction rate calculation. 31-MeV proton beams from the 25-MV tandem accelerator and enriched Mg-24 solid targets were used. When recoiling He-4 particles from the Mg-24(p, alpha)Na-21 reaction we used a highly segmented silicon detector array to detect them; it measured the yields of He-4 particles over a range of angles simultaneously. A observed a new level at 6661 ± 5 keV in the present work. The extracted angular distributions for the first four levels of Na-21 and the results from distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA) calculations were compared to verify and extract the angular momentum transfer.

FIG. 1 FIG. 1: A schematic diagram of the experimental setup is shown. A 31-MeV proton beam impinged on isotopically-enriched 24Mg solid targets. Recoiling α particles were detected at forward angles by the SIDAR. A graphite beam stop was used to monitor the beam current.
