N1 - Funding Information:
We are grateful to TRIUMF staff and in particular to ISAC Operations crews and to R. Laxdal, K. Jayamanna, M. Pasini, Z. Peng and M. Marchetto for their work in providing accelerated stable beams. P. Machule and D. Preddy provided technical assistance; D. Lang, C. Neish, M. Anderson, A. Ruberg and K. Oraas assisted in collection and analysis of data. Financial support was received from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, from the US Department of Energy (DE-FG03-93ER40789) and from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (GR 1577/3-1).

N2 - The performance of the DRAGON recoil spectrometer at TRIUMF-ISAC has been studied using radiative capture reactions with stable beams of 12C, 20Ne, 21Ne, 23Na, 24Mg and 26Mg. Calibration of the deflection magnet measuring the beam energy was established and the beam suppression factors of the separator were investigated. Yields from six narrow resonances were measured and compared with previous results. For the 1,112.6 keV resonance in Ne20(p,γ)Na21 our result is in disagreement with the NACRE database assignment but agrees with another previous result.
