Abstract
The cross sections of 41K(α, n)44Sc and 41K(α, p)44Ca have been measured in the bombarding energy ranges 3.0-8.0 MeV and 4.5-9.0 MeV, respectively. The cross sections have been compared with the results of statistical-model calculations made with global optical-model parameters, and also with a set of modified parameters. Thermonuclear reaction rates at temperatures important in silicon burning in evolving stars and supernovae have been calculated.
