Abstract

Gamma-ray decay schemes have been measured with bare and Compton-suppressed Ge detectors at low-energy resonances ( E P < 340 keV) in the (p, γ) reactions on 25 Mg, 26 Mg and 27 Al. Altogether 58 new decay branches have been observed and a new 26 Mg(p, γ) 27 Al resonance has been found at E P = 154.5 ± 1.0 keV. The new branchings lead to J π ; T determinations (or limitations) for two states in 26 Al and four states in 28 Si. The absolute strengths of the 25 Mg(p, γ) 26 Al and 26 Mg(p, γ) 27 Al resonances have also been obtained, and the uncertainties of the stellar rates, deduced from the available data for both reactions, are significantly reduced. Some astrophysical consequences are discussed.
