Yield and angular distribution measurements on the T 3 (/>, 7)He 4 reaction have been made for protons up to 2.5 Mev. The yield indicates a resonance in the He 4 nucleus at a proton energy of about 2.5 Mev, giving an excited level at 21.6 Mev. The angular yield of the gamma-rays fits an A-\-B sin 2 # distribution very well, suggesting that the gamma-rays are due predominantly to a transition from the x Pi state to the 1 SQ state. An aluminum absorption curve for the secondaries produced in a lead radiator was taken, and a direct comparison made with the 17.5-Mev gamma-rays from the Li 7 (p, 7)Be 8 reaction, showing that the T 3 (/>, 7)He 4 gamma-rays are of higher energy.
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.
