Experimental evidence of a natural parity state in ${}^{26}$Mg and its impact to the production of neutrons for the s process

C. Ugalde, A. E. Champagne, S. Daigle +9

We have studied natural parity states in ${}^{26}$Mg via the ${}^{22}$Ne(${}^6$Li,d)${}^{26}$Mg reaction. Our method significantly improves the energy resolution of previous experiments…
