First direct limit on the 334 keV resonance strength in Ne(,)Mg reaction
In stars, the fusion of 22 Ne and 4 He may produce either 25 Mg, with the emission of a
neutron, or 26 Mg and a γ ray. At high temperature, the (α, n) channel dominates, while at …

Constraining the 22Ne (α, γ) 26Mg and 22Ne (α, n) 25Mg reaction rates using sub-Coulomb α-transfer reactions
Abstract The 22 Ne (α, γ) 26 Mg and 22 Ne (α, n) 25 Mg reactions play an important role in
astrophysics because they have significant influence on the neutron flux during the weak …
