burning environment of asymptotic giant branch stars by providing a breakout path from the NeNa to the
MgAl cycle. At temperatures above ≈0.1 GK, the underlying nuclear reaction contributions to the rate
are primarily narrow resonances, but at lower temperatures direct and broad resonance tail contributions
come to dominate. While there have been recent studies to improve the uncertainties of the contributions
of these narrow resonances, little attention has been paid to the non-resonant component of the capture
cross section. In this work, experimental measurements are reported over the energy range from 0.5
and 1.05 MeV proton beam energy. Several transitions were measured where two broad resonances were
clearly observed whose low energy tails contribute strongly to the low-energy, non-resonant, cross section.
In addition, direct capture in the23Na(p,γ)24Mg reaction was observed for the first time.
