โฆ Synopsis
The fl-delayed s-particle decay of a6K has been measured in order to search for natural parity states near the proton threshold in Z~Ar. Such states could correspond to resonances in the reaction 35C1(p,(~)32S and might influence mass flows in explosive hydrogen burning scenarios appreciably. We have found evidence for a new s-particle emitting state, corresponding to a resonance energy of E~b=351 keV. Possible implications for the nucleosynthesis during neon nova outbursts are discussed.
Properties of the proton drip line nuclei 6~As, 69Br and 73Rb are important for the prediction of the nucleosynthesis in very high-temperature hydrogen-burning scenarios, such as x-ray bursts. We describe an experimental program at TRIUMF which is designed to measure the quantities of astrophysical interest.
