New Constraints on the 18F(p,alpha) 15O Rate in Novae from the (d,p) Reaction

R. L. Kozub, D. W. Bardayan, J. C. Batchelder +18

The degree to which the (p,gamma) and (p,alpha) reactions destroy 18F at temperatures 1-4x10^8 K is important for understanding the synthesis of nuclei in nova explosions and for u…
