Abstract
The astrophysically important 3+ resonance of the F17(p,γ)Ne18 reaction has been studied with the O16(He3,n)Ne18 reaction. High-resolution measurements were carried out for three different kinematic configurations. We find an excitation energy of 4527(4) keV and a proton width of 17(4) keV for the 3+ state. Measured differential cross sections were compared with Hauser-Feshbach predictions to assign the spin of the 4527-keV state and confirm the spin assignments of the two known levels in this region. Our results differ from the earlier O16(He3,n)Ne18 findings of García [Phys. Rev. C 43, 2012 (1991)], but they agree well with the F17(p,p)F17 measurements of Bardayan [Phys. Rev. C 62, 055804 (2002)].
