摘要: The breakout reaction $^{15}\mathrm{O}(\ensuremath{\alpha},\ensuremath{\gamma})^{19}\mathrm{Ne}$, which regulates the flow between hot CNO cycle and $rp$ process, is critical for explanation of burst amplitude periodicity x-ray bursters. We report on first successful measurement $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-decay branching ratios relevant states in $^{19}\mathrm{Ne}$ populated via $^{19}\mathrm{F}(^{3}\mathrm{He},t)^{19}\mathrm{Ne}$. Based experimental results our previous lifetime measurements these states, we derive rate $^{15}\mathrm{O}(\ensuremath{\alpha},\ensuremath{\gamma})^{19}\mathrm{Ne}$. impact pattern a range accretion rates analyzed.
