Analysis of presolar grains in primitive meteorites has shown isotopic ratios largely characteristic of the conditions thought to prevail in various astrophysical environments. A possible indicator for a grain of ONe nova origin is a large 33 S abundance: nucleosynthesis calculations predict as much as 150 times the solar abundance of 33 S in the ejecta of nova explosions on massive ONe white dwarfs. This overproduction factor may, however, vary by factors of at least 0.01-3 because of uncertainties of several orders of magnitude in the 33 S(p,γ) 34 Cl reaction rate at nova peak temperatures (T peak ~ 0.1-0.4 GK). These uncertainties arise due to the lack of nuclear physics information for states within ~600 keV of the 33 S + p threshold in 34 Cl (S p ( 34 Cl) = 5143 keV). To better constrain this rate we have measured, for the first time, the 34 S( 3 He,t) 34 Cl reaction over the region E x ( 34 CI) = 4.9-6 MeV. We confirm previous states and find 15 new states in this energy region. New 33 S(p,γ) 34 Cl resonances at E R = 281(2), 301(2), and 342(2) keV may dominate this rate at relevant nova temperatures. Our results could affect predictions of sulphur isotopic ratios in nova ejecta (e.g., 32 S/ 33 S) that may be used as diagnostic tools for the nova paternity of grains.
