Using the 17.64 MeV monochromatic (ΔE = 10 keV) photon line from the 7Li(p, γ)8Be reaction, elastic photon scattering by Pb has been studied. Strong E1-E2 interference has been observed, suggesting localized 2+ states in 208Pb at excitation energies between 17.65 and 17.68 MeV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
