The (e,a) cross section in Zr has been measured at incident electron energies from 13.5 MeV to 66.5 MeV for a particles between 6.9 and 16.8 MeV. The (y,a) cross section was deduced from it assuming both E1 interaction and E2 interaction. The angular distribution of the (y,ao) cross section and an experiment using the bremsstrahlung plus electron beam make it clear that the E1 interaction is dominant over all the present energy range. The (y,a) cross section extracted by using E1 virtual photon spectra has a large bump above the excitation energy of 30 MeV in addition to a bump in the giant dipole resonance region. The (y,a()) cross section also has a bump at the giant dipole resonance which exhausts most of the (y,a) cross section in that region. The compound nucleus model was used successfully to explain the bump at the giant dipole resonance. The cross section above 30 MeV is discussed in terms of the pre-equilibrium a emission process combined with the quasi-deuteron model.

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.
