Abstract

The synthesis of 22 in novae took place following two possible reaction paths. Current models of ONe novae indicated that the unknown rate of 21Na(p,γ) is the main source of uncertainty associated with calculating the amount of 22Na in nova outbursts. This paper aims to report on the first direct measurement of this rate.
