Complete Analysis of ¹⁹F Energy Levels in 2021 Experiment of ¹⁵N(α, γ)¹⁹F Reaction

Following on to a preliminary analysis of 15N(α, γ)19F performed in 2021, a more complete analysis was required. Studying fluorine-19 provides deeper understanding to its mirror nucleus, neon-19, and gives understanding to novae nucleosytnesis as a result. The analysis of the experiment to confirm the initial conclusions made about fluorine-19 from 2021 was completed. This analysis looked at the previously completed experiment in detail to prove the accuracy in the 2021 early conclusions. We found positive correlations between the gamma rays in the experiment and where we expected to see them, thus confirming the work from O'Donnell. The further completeness of the energy levels in fluorine-19 will allow for future conclusions to be made about its mirror nucleus neon-19 which impact estimates of 18F synthesis in novae.
