Re-evaluation of the ${}^{22}$Ne($p$,$\gamma$)${}^{23}$Na reaction rate: $R-$matrix analysis of the non-resonant capture and effect of the 8945 keV (${7/2}^{-}$) resonance strength

The ${}^{22}$Ne($p,\gamma$)${}^{23}$Na capture reaction is a key member of the Ne-Na cycle of hydrogen burning. The rate of this reaction is critical in classical novae nucleosynthesis and…
