Abstract.
The masses of the astrophysically relevant nuclei 25Al and 30P have been measured with a Penning trap for the first time. The mass-excess values for 25Al ( \(\Delta = -8915.962(63)\) keV) and 30P ( \(\Delta = -20200.854(64)\) keV) obtained with the JYFLTRAP double Penning trap mass spectrometer are in good agreement with the Atomic Mass Evaluation 2012 values but \( \approx\) 5-10 times more precise. A high precision is required for calculating resonant proton-capture rates of astrophysically important reactions 25Al (p,\( \gamma\))26Si and 30P(p,\( \gamma\))31S . In this work, \( Q_{(p,\gamma)} = 5513.99(13)\) keV and \( Q_{(p,\gamma)} = 6130.64(24)\) keV were obtained for 25Al and 30P , respectively. The effect of the more precise values on the resonant proton-capture rates has been studied. In addition to nuclear astrophysics, the measured QEC value of 25Al , 4276.805(45) keV, is relevant for studies of T = 1/2 mirror beta decays which have a potential to be used to test the Conserved Vector Current hypothesis.
