Description
Transfer reaction measurements in normal kinematics using light stable beams are very powerful tools to study the properties of single-particle states of unstable nuclei important for astrophysical phenomena. The measurements are also useful to extract the proton branching ratios of populated excited states of unstable nuclei. In the presentation, we will summarize the results of proton branching ratio analysis for radionuclide 22Mg which were populated through a previous 24Mg(p,t)22Mg reaction measurement. The measured branching ratios provide constrains on the proton partial widths, which have implications for X-ray burst nucleosynthesis. Details of the data analysis and our future plan for the 40Ca(p,t)38Ca reaction will be presented.
