摘要：The 18F(p,a)15O reaction plays a crucial role in understanding g -ray emission from novae. Because
of the importance of understanding the 18F + p reactions, a number of studies of the A=19
isobars have been made using stable and exotic beams. The interference effects among Jp = 32
+
resonances in the 18F + p system, however, have never been measured, but they can change the
S-factor by a factor of 20 at nova energies. R-matrix calculations indicate that the cross sections
above the Ec.m. = 665 keV resonance are sensitive to the interference between the Ec.m. =
8, 38, and 665 keV resonances. In order to study the interference effects, an excitation function
for the 1H(18F,a)15O reaction has been measured in the energy range of Ec.m. = 663-877 keV
using radioactive 18F beams at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility. By measuring the
18F(p,a)15O cross section off resonance and comparing the cross section with theoretical calculations,
we provide the first experimental constraints on the interference of 32
+ resonances.
