Here we report on the direct measurement of the resonance strengths of the and 1842 keV resonances in the reaction. At novae temperatures, , the reaction is governed by the low energy resonance at , whereas the resonance serves as a normalization standard for nuclear reaction experiments within the astrophysically relevant energy range. For the resonance, we obtain a resonance strength , with an uncertainty a factor of 2.5 smaller than the previous direct measurement value. For the resonance, we obtain a resonance strength , which is consistent with previous studies but deviates by from the most recent measurement. Our results suggest to be a strong waiting point in the nucleosynthesis path of oxygen-neon (ONe) novae. Published by the American Physical Society2025more » « less
