Resonance states in 22Mg for reaction rates in the rp-process

Motivated by the need of spectroscopic data to better understand the astrophysical rp-process, we developed a new experimental method using the Grand Raiden magnet spectrometer to study protin rich nuclei with α and 3 He induced reactions. First results of the 24 Mg( 4 He, 6 He) 22 Mg reaction at 206 MeV and 0° are presented, showing states relevant for resonant reaction rate calculations of the proton capture 21 Na(p,γ) 22 Mg and the 18 Ne(α,p) 21 Na reaction which controls the break-out of the hot CNO cycles at X-ray burst conditions.
