Abstract

Knowledge of the F(p, γ)Ne reaction rate is important for understanding stellar explosions, but it was uncertain because the properties of an expected but previously unobserved 3 state in Ne were not known. This state would provide a strong s-wave resonance for the F+p system and, depending on its excitation energy, could dominate the stellar reaction rate at temperatures above 0.2 GK. We have observed this missing 3 state by measuring the H(F,p)F excitation function with a radioactive F beam at the ORNL Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF). We find that the state lies at a center-of-mass energy of E = 599.8 ± 1.5±2.0 keV (E = 4523.7±2.9 keV) and has a width of Γ = 18±2±1 keV. The measured properties of the resonance are only consistent with a J = 3 assignment.
