Coulomb dissociation of $27 P$ Available to Purchase

The $26Al$ nucleus has a shorter life‐time than the Universe showing that the nucleosynthesis of this element might be an ongoing process in stars. The reaction $26Si(p,γ)27 P$ competes with the production of $26Al.$ Coulomb dissociation of $27 P$ is an indirect method to measure that reaction. An experiment was performed at GSI with a $36Ar$ primary beam at 500 MeV to measure this reaction.
