Study of the ${}^{22}$Mg waiting point relevant for x-ray burst nucleosynthesis via the ${}^{22}$Mg($\alpha$,$p$)${}^{25}$Al reaction

The ${}^{22}$Mg($\alpha$,$p$)${}^{25}$Al reaction rate has been identified as a major source of uncertainty for understanding the nucleosynthesis flow in Type-I x-ray bursts (XRBs). We repo…
