Indirect study of 19Ne states near the image threshold Original Research Article

The early E⩽511 keV gamma-ray emission from novae depends critically on the View the MathML source reaction. Unfortunately the reaction rate of the View the MathML source reaction is still largely uncertain due to the unknown strengths of low-lying proton resonances near the View the MathML source threshold which play an important role in the nova temperature regime. We report here our last results concerning the study of the View the MathML source transfer reaction. We show in particular that these two low-lying resonances cannot be neglected. These results are then used to perform a careful study of the remaining uncertainties associated to the View the MathML source and View the MathML source reaction rates.
