“…The resonance strength was taken from Lyons [21], whereas the branching ratios were taken from Meyers [22]. Previous measurements of the resonance parameters for 19 F(p, γ ) have relied on either a published measurement of the cross sections ( [5][6][7]9]) of resonances in 19 F(p, γ ) or the yield relative to the 19 F(p, α) reaction ( [4]). Even more problematic, uncertainties are not reported by previous authors for the these resonance parameters.…”

“…Previous measurements relied on detecting the >11 MeV primary transition to the first excited state of 20 Ne [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Most of these prior measurements relied on low resolution and relatively small-volume NaI(Tl) detectors.…”

“…One measurement observed an anomalously high partial width for the broad resonance at E c.m. = 564 keV [7]. The measurement by Clifford [8] was restricted to the energy range from E c.m.…”
The 19 F(p, γ ) 20 Ne reaction represents the only breakout path for the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle operating at temperatures below T = 0.1 GK, an energy regime important for main-sequence hydrogen burning as well as hydrogen burning in asymptotic giant branch stars. Large experimental uncertainties exist due to unknown low energy direct and resonant reaction contributions that have been difficult to study because of the high γ -ray background from the 19 F(p, α 2 γ ) reaction. A new detection technique has been developed at the University of Notre Dame to measure the 19 F(p, γ ) and 19 F(p, α i γ ) reactions over an energy range of E c.m. = 200-760 keV. The analysis was carried out in a Breit-Wigner framework. This allowed a new determination of the resonance parameters as well as a first measurement of the signs of the interference terms. Partial widths and resonance strengths are reported for the resonances in this region.

“…The broad resonance observed most clearly by [6] at E cm =567 keV is excluded so that it will not contribute in any significant way to the astrophysical reaction rate. The resonance strengths for the other resonances were generally smaller than that previously observed, and the net interference effect at low energies was seen to be destructive.…”

“…Unsurprisingly, there was discrepancy between the different measurements. One measurement observed an anomalously high partial width for the broad resonance at E cm =567 keV [6]. None of the measurements were sufficiently sensitive to determine the signs of the interference components which were expected to contribute almost 50% to the reaction rate at stellar temperatures [8,9].…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
