Abstract
Low-energy resonances in 31P(p, α 28Si and
35Cl(p, α)32S were studied directly in order
to gain a better understanding of reaction cycling in the Si-Ar region
in novae. New resonance strengths at E c.m. = 600 and 622
keV in 31P(p, α)28Si were measured (
ωγ p, α = (2.2#x00B1;0.7) ×
10-2 eV and ωγ p, α =
(0.99±0.08) eV, respectively) as well as the E c.m.
= 610 keV resonance in 35Cl(p, α)32S [
ωγ p, α = (1.2±0.2) ×
10-2 eV], the lowest energy that any resonance in this
reaction has been observed, directly or indirectly. The strengths of
these resonances were found to be lower than previously determined,
resulting in even weaker cycling in the Si-Ar region.
