The role of excited states in rp-process for sd shell nuclei

Nuclear Theory 2014-04-30 v1

Abstract

We investigate the importance of proton capture on low-lying excited states that are thermally excited in hot stellar environments. In addition to the previously known case of 32^{32}Cl(p,γ)33(p,\gamma)^{33}Ar we find several other sd-shell nuclei with large stellar enhancement factors. We discuss the uncertainty this introduces into rp-process nucleosynthesis.
