Deuteron-helium elastic scattering cross sections have been measured from Ed = 0.28 to 4.62 Mev. A resonance at Ed-1.070 Mev and P^35 kev was observed at 9 angles from 90° tp 173.6° cm. This resonance corresponds to the previously observed 2.187-Mev state of Li 6 . No scattering anomaly was observed at the deuteron energy corresponding to the known 3.58-Mev level of Li 6 . This negative result is consistent with an assignment of J=0 + , T-1 to this state. A very broad scattering anomaly is observed from about 3 Mev to 4.62 Mev. Most of the cross section measurements are good to 3 percent or better in absolute magnitude.
The B n (p,a)Be* reaction has been used as a source of Be 8 for the measurement of the Q for Be 8 ->2a. Protons of several Mev energy were used to bombard various thin boron targets and the breakup alphas were observed at ^135° to the proton beam. A spherical electrostatic analyzer was used for measurement of the alpha energy. A value of 94.5dbl.4 kev was found for the breakup 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.
