This study explores high-precision (p,t) reactions for determining reaction rates crucial to the stellar rapid proton capture process (rp-process). Utilizing the GRAND RAIDEN spectrometer, we focus on measuring resonance energies for unstable proton-rich nuclei such as 32S, 28Si, and 24Mg at Ep=100 MeV. Our findings indicate that existing statistical level density models overestimate the stellar reaction rates, emphasizing the need for improved calculations to understand nuclear processes in cosmic phenomena like novae and X-ray bursters.
