Abstract

The reaction ${}^{22}{Na}$ (p,γ $)^{23}$ Mg has been investigated in the energy range $E_{p}$ =0.4–1.27 MeV using a radioactive ${}^{22}{Na}$ target. Upper limits for the γ yield have been determined for transitions to states in ${}^{23}{Mg}$ up to $E_{x}$ =4.4 MeV. The upper limits for the expected resonances in this energy range are more than an order of magnitude weaker than previously predicted. These upper limits are compared with shell model calculations.
