Investigation of Stellar 26Si(p,γ)27P Reaction via Coulomb Dissociation

The Coulomb dissociation of the proton‐rich nuclei 27P was studied experimentally using 27P beams at 57 MeV/nucleon with a lead target. The radiative widths of the low‐lying excited state in 27P were deduced. The resonant capture reaction rate of stellar 26Si(p,γ)27P through these states was estimated using the measured radiative widths. The astrophysical implications obtained from the extracted reaction rate will be discussed.
