Abstract
20Ne recoils produced from the 16O(α,γ) 20Ne reaction were detected in coincidence with capture γ rays using a recoil separator, NaI(Tl) γ-ray detectors, and a helium gas target. Total cross sections for cascade and ground state capture were measured in the range Ec.m.=1.7–2.35 MeV. Improved measurements of the total width and resonance strength of the Ec.m.=1.99 MeV (Jπ=0+) resonance and the resonance strength of the Ec.m.=1.054 MeV (Jπ=1-) resonance are reported. The astrophysical S factor for nonresonant capture into the 20Ne ground state was measured to be 0.26±0.07 MeV b, assuming an energy-independent S factor between Ec.m.=1.7 and 2.35 MeV. Using theoretical estimates for the energy dependence and branching ratios for the nonresonant capture, a best estimate for the total S factor at 300 keV of 0.7±0.3 MeV b is determined.
