Examination of the role of the ${}^{14}$O($\alpha$,$p$)${}^{17}$F reaction rate in type I x-ray bursts

J. Hu, J. J. He, A. Parikh +17

The ${}^{14}$O($\alpha$,$p$)${}^{17}$F reaction is one of the key reactions involved in the breakout from the hot-CNO cycle to the rp-process in type I x-ray bursts (XRBs). The resonant pro…
