Measurement of $^{19}$Ne(d,n)$^{20}$Na(p) reaction at RESOLUT

ORAL

Abstract

The $^{19}$Ne(p,$\gamma$)$^{20}$Na reaction is believed to be a link between the hot CNO cycle and the rp-process. States near the proton threshold in $^{20}$Na play a critical role in determining the reaction rate. Most notably, a known state at 450 keV above the proton threshold has yet to be firmly assigned a spin and parity. Using a radioactive $^{19}$Ne beam produced at the RESOLUT radioactive beam facility at FSU we have studied the $^{19}$Ne(d,n)$^{20}$Na(p) reaction to identify the spin and parity of near proton threshold states in $^{20}$Na.
