The relative widths for the proton (p) decay of the isobaric analog of the 208 Pb ground state have been remeasured with significantly improved accuracy using the charge-exchange reaction m Ph(p,n) rather than 201 Pb(p,p) and (p,p f ) excitation functions to populate the isobaric analog level. For the first time the sequential process ip,np) has been observed both with a heavy (A ~ 200) target nucleus and also with a target nucleus which is even-even rather than even-odd. The total cross section for the isobaric-analogstate reaction 208 Pb(£,?2) 208 Bi has also been measured for the range of proton bombarding energies between 25.2 and 47.3 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.
