18F(α,p)21Ne Reaction: Neutron Source For r‐Process In Supernovae

The reaction rate of 18F(α,p)21Ne has been studied using the inverse reaction 21Ne(p,α)18F. This has been measured by the activation method in the energy range of the relevant Gamow window. Experimental results will be discussed and compared with the results of Hauser‐Feshbach calculations and previous measurements.
