Theory and experiment for the reactionLi6(e,d)e

Abstract

Deuterons from the reaction Li(e, d) e', 'He were measured at eight laboratory angles over a deuteron energy interval of approximately 2 -10 MeV. The incident electron energy was chosen so that only deuterons and a particles were left in the final state. These data are compared to a one-resonance square-well electrodisintegration model. Extracted photodisintegration cross sections are also compared with a more sophisticated Woods-Saxon photodisintegration theory. In both comparisons the data and theory are in overall qualitative agreement.NUCLEAR REACTIONS 6Li(e, d)e', He, measured o(E",O"), E&=2 -10 MeV, extracted Li(p, d) He for E &10 MeV.

The photodisintegration of6Li and7Li

“…At 10MeV excitation energy our data, obtained by assuming only two body breakups, are a factor of 4 above those of [10]. Not only the measurements described above but also a simplified e-d cluster model theory used by Skopik et al [10] predict a differential cross section of --~0.1 lab/st at 90 ~ This value is raised to ~0.4lab/sr at 120 ~ . Our results at this angle are roughly identical to the 90 ~ spectrum and show no events above 15MeV excitation energy.…”

“…Two main aspects are important for our results. Firstly real photons are used for excitation and therefore no calculated virtual photon spectrum was necessary, as in electrodisintegration * This work has been supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft ** Excerpt from thesis (D26) measurements [8,10,11]. Secondly most of the decaying particles are recorded simultaneously including their angular distribution.…”
