Investigation of Stellar {sup 26}Si(p,{gamma}){sup 27}P Reaction via Coulomb Dissociation

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