Abstract :
Reactions such as 18Ne(α, p)21Na of importance to Nuclear Astrophysics may be studied directly through the use of a radioactive beam and a gaseous helium target. A system to study such reactions has been developed and tested using the 13N beam available at the Radioactive Ion Beam facility (RIB) at Louvain-la-Neuve. This (α, p) reaction was chosen as previous studies of the inverse reaction 16O(p, α)13N allowed the resonance strength of a strong resonance at 8.07 MeV (Tilley et al., Nucl. Phys. A 564 (1993) 139) in the compound nucleus 17F to be calculated and compared with that obtained through experiment. These resonance strengths showed good agreement and so validated the technique for further work.
