Abstract

The inelastic component of the key astrophysical resonance (1−, Ex=6.15 MeV) in the 14O(α,p)17F reaction has been studied by using the resonant scattering of 17F+p. The experiment was done at REX-ISOLDE CERN with the Miniball setup. The thick target method in inverse kinematics was utilized in the present experiment where a 44.2 MeV 17F beam bombarded a∼40μm thick (CH2)n target. The inelastic scattering protons in coincidence with the de-excited 495 keV γ rays have been clearly seen and they are from the inelastic branch to the first excited state in 17F following decay of the 1− resonance in 18Ne. Some preliminary results are reported.
