Background:Classical novae result from thermonuclear explosions producing several-ray emitters which are prime targets for satellites observing in the MeV range. The early-ray emission depends critically on thereaction rate which, despite many experimental and theoretical efforts, still remains uncertain.Purpose:One of the main uncertainties in thereaction rate is the contribution in the Gamow window of interference between sub-thresholdstates and known broad states at higher energies. Therefore the goal of this work is to clarify the existence and the nature of these sub-threshold states.Methods:States in thecompound nucleus were studied at the Tandem-ALTO facility using thecharge-exchange reaction. Tritons were detected with an Enge Split-pole spectrometer while decaying protons orparticles from unboundstates were collected, in coincidence, with a double-sided silicon strip detector array. Angular correlations were extracted and constraints on the spin and parity of decaying states established.Results:The coincidence yield atwas observed to be high spin, supporting the conclusion that it is indeed a doublet consisting of high-spin and low-spin components. Evidence for a broad, low-spin state was observed around 6 MeV. Branching ratios were extracted for several states above the proton threshold and were found to be consistent with the literature.-matrix calculations show the relative contribution of sub-threshold states to the astrophysically important energy region above the proton threshold.Conclusions:The levels schemes ofandare still not sufficiently well known and further studies of the analog assignments are needed. The tentative broad state at 6 MeV may only play a role if the reduced proton width is large.
