The 24Mg(훼,p) 27Al reaction was measured using the solenoid spectrometer for nuclear astrophysics at the University of the Notre Dame to study the astrophysical 24Mg(훼,p) 27Al reaction rate. Alpha beams from the 10-MV FN tandem accelerator impinged on 24Mg solid targets which were made using the vacuum evaporation method on 12C foils. A total of 43 beam energies were used. Recoiling protons from the 24Mg(훼,p) 27Al reaction were detected using a double-sided position sensitive silicon detector array mounted on the solenoid. Energies, times of fight, and fight distances of particles were measured for particle identifcation. Protons associated with a wide range of excitation energies Ex = 12.42–14.44 MeV in 28Si were identifed. KCI Citation Count: 0
