Abstract
The masses of Ne-18, and of the O-14 first excited state that dominate s the astrophysical N-13(p, gamma) reaction rate, were measured using the O-16(He-3,n) and C-12(He-3,n) reactions. We found mass excesses of 5316.8 +/- 1.5 keV for the Ne-18 ground state and 13163.4 +/- 2.0 keV for the first excited state of O-14. The O-14 MasS Corresponds to an N-13(p, gamma) resonance energy of 528.8 +/- 2.0 keV. This is consiste nt with the result from a recent N-13+p study, but disagrees with the previously accepted value. Implications for the thermonuclear N-13(p, gamma) rate are discussed.
