The cross sections are measured for laboratory bombarding energies over the range 5.52-12.00 MeV; the targets here have a thickness of approximately 4 keV. Ground state reaction rates are then deduced from these cross sections and stellar rates are deduced by multiplying by the ratio of stellar-to-ground state rates obtained from statistical model calculations. Stellar rates for the reverse reactions are determined and are fitted by a parametric equation for ease of interpolation. The experimental cross sections and rates are compared with the statistical model calculations. They are found to be in reasonable agreement for the Fe-54(alpha, p)Co-57 reaction; for the Si-28(alpha, p)P-31 reaction, they deviate by as much as a factor of three.
