Description

The miniball and CD array have been used on Rex Isolde to measure particle gamma-coincidences between inelastically scattered protons and gamma-rays from the first excited state of 17F. This method can be used to infer the significance of the inelastic branch in the 14O(alpha p)17F reaction which is a key reaction in X-ray bursters scenarios. Current analysis of the results from this recent experiment will be reported.
