Abstract
Neutron-capture reactions on \(^{18}\)F in the helium-burning shell play an important role in the production of \(^{15}\)N during core-collapse supernovae. The competition between the \(^{18}\)F(\(n,p/\alpha \))\(^{18}\)O/\(^{15}\)N reactions controls the amount of \(^{15}\)N produced. The strengths of these reactions depend on the decay branching ratios of states in \(^{19}\)F above the neutron threshold. We report on an experiment investigating the decay branching ratios of these states in order to better constrain the strengths of the reactions.
