Three New Low-Energy Resonances in the ^{22} Ne(p,γ) ^{23} Na Reaction

Author(s): F. Cavanna et al. (The LUNA Collaboration)

New resonances are observed in ${}^{22}$Ne($p,\gamma$)${}^{23}$Na reactions at energies relevant to element production in stars and novae. The resulting reaction rates are five times higher than previous measurements indicating a higher abundance of sodium and neon in these systems.
