Özet

The ratio of the reaction rates of the competing channels O-17(alpha, gamma)Ne-21 and O-17(alpha, n)Ne-20 determines the efficiency of O-16 as a neutron poison in the weak s process. We present results of the first measurement of the reaction O-17(alpha, gamma)Ne-21 and an improved study of the reaction O-17(alpha, n)Ne-20, including an independent measurement of the O-17(alpha, n(1))Ne-20 channel and a simultaneous R-Matrix fit to both the n(o) and the n(1) channels. The impact of the new data on the weak s process is discussed.
