The proton-capture reaction on 24Mg has been investigated in the bombarding energy range of Ep=0.2-1.7 MeV. Properties of low-energy resonances have been measured. From the experimental results, accurate proton partial widths, γ-ray partial widths and total widths have been deduced. The present experimental information establishes the 24Mg+p reaction rates over the temperature range T=0.02-2.0 GK with statistical uncertainties of less than 21%. Based on our results, we can rule out the recent suggestion that the total width of the ER=223 keV resonance has a significant influence on the reaction rates. The astrophysical implications for hydrogen burning of 24Mg at low stellar temperatures in globular cluster red giant stars are discussed.
