A compilation of information on the 31P(p,α)28Si reaction and properties of excited levels in the compound nucleus 32S

This report documents a survey of the literature, and provides a compilation of data contained therein, for the 31P(p,α)28Si reaction. Attention is paid here to resonance states in the compound-nuclear system 32S formed by 31P + p, with emphasis on the alpha-particle decay channels, 28Si + α which populate specific levels in 28Si. The energy region near the proton separation energy for 32S is especially important in this context for applications in nuclear astrophysics. Properties of the excited states in 28Si are also considered. Summaries of all the located references are provided and numerical data contained in them are compiled in EXFOR format where applicable
