Constraining Al 26 + p resonances using Al 26 ( 3 He, d ) 27 Si

The $^{26}\\mathrm{Al}$${(}^{3}$He,d${)}^{27}$Si reaction was measured from 0\\ifmmode^\\circ\\else\\textdegree\\fi{}\\ensuremath{\\le}${\\mathrm{\\ensuremath{\\theta}}}_{\\mathrm{c}.\\mathrm{m}.}$\\ensuremath{\\le}35\\ifmmode^\\circ\\else\\textdegree\\fi{} at E${(}^{3}$He)=20 MeV using a quadrupole-dipole-dipole-dipole magnetic spectrometer. States in $^{27}\\mathrm{Si}$ were observed above the background at 7652 and 7741 keV and upper limits were set for the state at 7592 keV. Implications for the $^{26}\\mathrm{Al}$(p,\\ensuremath{\\gamma}${)}^{27}$Si stellar reaction rate are discussed. \\textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
