Energy measurements of proton resonances in light nuclei

Abstract

A search has been made for (p, γ) resonances in all stable nuclides from 19F through 33S for proton energies in the 0.20 – 0.85 MeV range. The energies of eighty-one resonances were measured with an average precision of 0.24 percent. Four new resonances, at 431.0 ± l.3, 436.9 ± 1.3, 480.1 ± l.0, and 725.5 ± 1.2 keV, were observed in the 22Ne(p, γ)23Na reaction, and one new resonance, at 501.4 ± l.4 keV, was found in the 25Mg(p, γ)26Al reaction.
