Abstract
Nuclear reaction sensitivity studies have shown that the final isotopic abundance of O-Ne nova nucleosynthesis is dependent on the $^{34}\mathrm{S}(p,\ensuremath{\gamma})^{35}\mathrm{Cl}$ reaction at astrophysical energies corresponding to peak nova burning temperatures of 0.1--0.4 GK. Isotopic ratios of the S, Cl, and Ar products are all used in various methods of cosmochemical analysis of presolar meteoritic grains. Due to the lack of direct experimental data, the $^{34}\mathrm{S}+p$ reaction rate has been estimated using statistical modeling or information from indirect nucleon transfer experiments. In order to provide direct reaction information, the resonance strengths of several low energy resonances, ${E}_{\mathrm{c}.\mathrm{m}.}=272--495$ keV, in the $^{34}\mathrm{S}(p,\ensuremath{\gamma})^{35}\mathrm{Cl}$ reaction were measured for the first time in inverse kinematics using the DRAGON recoil separator located at TRIUMF, Canada's Particle Accelerator Centre in Vancouver.
