Constraining Al 26 + p resonances using Al 26 ( 3 He, d ) 27 Si

The $^{26}\mathrm{Al}$${(}^{3}$He,d${)}^{27}$Si reaction was measured from 0\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}\ensuremath{\le}${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\theta}}}_{\mathrm{c}.\mathrm{m}.}$\ensuremath{\le}35\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} at E${(}^{3}$He)=20 MeV using a quadrupole-dipole-dipole-dipole magnetic spectrometer. States in $^{27}\mathrm{Si}$ were observed above the background at 7652 and 7741 keV and upper limits were set for the state at 7592 keV. Implications for the $^{26}\mathrm{Al}$(p,\ensuremath{\gamma}${)}^{27}$Si stellar reaction rate are discussed. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
