“…The cross section for proton excitation of this level, measured from 12 to 15 MeV by Shotter, Fishdr and Scott (1970), at 175 MeV, Crawley and Garvey (1967) and at 100 MeV by Horowitz et al (1969), is roughly 17% of that for excitation of 2 8 Si(p,p'y ) 28 i Using the branching ratios of de Meijer et al (1975) and assuming a 20% cascade contribution from higher levels we estimate the 6.878 and 5.099 MeV gamma-ray production cross sections to be, respectively, 13% and 6% of that for 1.779 MeV gamma-rays in Figure 10 reaction, we take a factor of 2 for the ratio of the cross 28 28Si8 <sectibns of the reactions 2 8 Si(aa'y.779)2 and 28si(t') 28Si 1 "779 at energies well above the Coulomb barrier energy.…”
