Key 19Ne levels impact 18F(p,α)15O rates

Published: February 2019 Bardayan

The ¹⁸F(p,α)¹⁵O reaction destroys observable ¹⁸F in novae. ¹⁸F should be observable in nova outbursts but has never been detected potentially because of key levels in ¹⁹Ne that greatly increase the destruction rate. Learn more
