SummaryThe light even nuclei with A ;;;. 10 have 0+ excited states near 6 MeV, probably with large (X-particle reduced widths. A similar state in BBe would be very broad. Evidence for 0+ excited states in BBe has been obtained here using many-level R-matrix fits to known (X-(X scattering data, but the excitation energies depend strongly on the assumed channel radius. For a simultaneous fit to the 9Be(p, d)BBe cross section, assuming these higher states are not strongly populated, the channel radius is restricted to (7~~) fm, implying a 0+ excited state at (6=f3) MeV of width (9=f4) 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.
