/ Abstract
Abstract The early E ⩽ 511 keV gamma-ray emission from novae depends critically on the F 18 ( p , α ) O 15 reaction. Unfortunately the reaction rate of the F 18 ( p , α ) O 15 reaction is still largely uncertain due to the unknown strengths of low-lying proton resonances near the F 18 + p threshold which play an important role in the nova temperature regime. We report here our last results concerning the study of the d ( F 18 , p ) F 19 ( α ) N 15 transfer reaction. We show in particular that these two low-lying resonances cannot be neglected. These results are then used to perform a careful study of the remaining uncertainties associated to the F 18 ( p , α ) O 15 and F 18 ( p , γ ) Ne 19 reaction rates.
