Here we report on the direct measurement of the resonance strengths of the $E_{R}^{lab} = 647 keV$ and 1842 keV resonances in the ${}^{40}{Ca} (p, γ) {}^{41}{Sc}$ reaction. At novae temperatures, $0.2 < T_{9} < 0.7$ , the ${}^{40}{Ca} (p, γ) {}^{41}{Sc}$ reaction is governed by the low energy resonance at $E_{R}^{lab} = 647 keV$ , whereas the $E_{R}^{lab} = 1842 keV$ resonance serves as a normalization standard for nuclear reaction experiments within the astrophysically relevant energy range. For the $E_{R}^{lab} = 647 keV$ resonance, we obtain a resonance strength $ω γ = (2.51 \pm 0 . 09_{stat} \pm 0 . 22_{syst}) meV$ , with an uncertainty a factor of 2.5 smaller than the previous direct measurement value. For the $E_{R}^{lab} = 1842 keV$ resonance, we obtain a resonance strength $ω γ = (0.148 \pm 0 . 006_{stat} \pm 0 . 013_{syst}) eV$ , which is consistent with previous studies but deviates by $2 σ$ from the most recent measurement. Our results suggest ${}^{40}{Ca}$ to be a strong waiting point in the nucleosynthesis path of oxygen-neon (ONe) novae. Published by the American Physical Society2025
