Abstract

A measurement of the ¹²C(¹⁴N,α²⁰Ne)²H and ¹²C(¹⁴N,p²³Na)²Hreactions has been performed at a ¹⁴N beam energy of 30.0 MeV. The experiment aims to explore the extent to which contributing ²⁴Mg excited states can be populated in the quasi-free reaction off the deuteron in ¹⁴N. In particular, the ²⁴Mg excitation region explored in the measurement plays a key role in stellar carbon burning whose cross section is commonly determined by extrapolating high-energy fusion data. From preliminary results, α and proton channels are clearly identified. In particular, ground and first excited states of ²⁰Ne and ²³Na play a major role.
