Studying the $^{25}$Al(p,gamma)$^{26}$Si reaction using the analogous single proton transfer reaction d($^{25}$Al,$^{26}$Si)n.

A radioactive beam of $^{25}$Al has successfully been created via the d($^{24}$Mg,$^{25}$Al)n reaction using the RESOLUT radioactive beam facility located at Florida State University. This beam has been used in an experiment with the d($^{25}$Al,$^{26}$Si)n single proton transfer reaction, which is analogous to the astrophysically interesting $^{25}$Al(p,gamma)$^{26}$Si proton capture. The experiment aims to identify the astrophysically significant lowest 3$^{+}$ state above the proton threshold, which is expected to be the dominant contributor to $^{25}$Al(p,gamma)$^{26}$Si. The proton-transfer reaction allows to identify the l=0 proton transfer to the resonances in question. Results from this experiment, will be presented. Details of $^{25}$Al beam production and conditioning using the new RESOLUT facility will also be discussed. \newline
