Two-neutron pickup reactions have been performed on targets of 149Sm and radioactive 151Sm using 18 MeV protons. The outgoing tritons from the 151Sm target were analyzed with a magnetic spectrograph at 16 angles between 6 and 80°. Unlike the two-neutron transfer data on neighboring even–even targets, the angular distributions indicated l = 0 transitions to many levels in the final nucleus. Partial angular distributions for the 149Sm(p,t)147Sm reaction were obtained, but showed only one strong l = 0 transition populating the 147Sm ground state. In addition, spectra from the 152Sm(p,t) reaction were measured at several angles in order to provide normalization to previous results.

Two-quasiparticle states in 166Er have been studied using the 167Er(d,t)166Er, 167Er(3He.α)166Er, 165Ho(3He,d)166Er, and 165Ho(α,t)166Er reactions. Beams of 15 MeV deuterons, 24 MeV 3He2+, and 27 MeV 4He2+ particles were produced by the McMaster University tandem Van de Graaff accelerator. The reaction products were analyzed with an Enge split-pole magnetic spectrograph and detected with photographic emulsions. Angular distributions were obtained for the (d,t) and (3He,d) reactions for levels up to ~2700 keV in excitation energy, although selected peaks were investigated at somewhat higher energies. The interpretation of the data was performed within the framework of the Unified model, incorporating pairing effects. In the neutron transfer study, two-quasiparticle states formed by removing a particle from the predominantly 7/2+[633] 167Er ground state were investigated, whereas the proton transfer study dealt with two-quasiparticle states formed by adding a particle to the 7/2−[523] ground state of 165Ho. Several previous assignments have been supported and many new ones are proposed. Several other assignments proposed in an earlier proton transfer study have been found to be incorrect. Earlier observations that some levels were populated in both the neutron transfer and proton transfer reactions have been confirmed and extended. In addition, the observation in the (d,t) reaction of several states populated by l = 0 neutron transfers has been interpreted in terms of a complex mixing scheme involving the 7/2+[633] ± 1/2+[400] configurations.


The methods previously described have been applied to a study of the elastic scattering of 4·2 MeV protons by deuterium, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, neon, argon, chlorine and bromine. The results obtained with deuterium and helium as the scattering gases are compared with those of other experimenters working with protons of different energies. The angular distributions of the protons elastically scattered by nitrogen and oxygen, together with the results for carbon obtained in previous measurements, can be simply described in terms of an S -component interacting with the Coulomb term in the formula for the scattered wave. Values are obtained in each case for the magnitude of the parameter which defines the amplitude and phase of the S -wave. The angular distribution of the protons inelastically scattered by neon has been investigated and evidence obtained for similar collision processes in experiments with argon and chlorine.

Angular distributions of the analyzing power and cross sections have been measured for the elastic and inelastic scattering of 25.25 MeV protons exciting the K = 0+ ground-state band in 28Si. Good agreement with experiment is obtained in the coupled-channels formalism on the basis of the rotational model with a quadrupole deformation β2 = −0.40 (oblate) and a hexadecapole deformation β4 = +0.15. The calculations show the great sensitivity of the experimental results to both the magnitude and sign of the quadrupole and hexadecapole deformations. Equivalent fits of the data were obtained either by keeping the deformation length of the various deformed terms of the optical potential constant (δ0 = β0R0 = βIRI = βLSRLS) or by increasing the deformation of the spin–orbit optical potential relative to the central potential by a factor of 1.5 (βLS = 1.5βcent).


The mechanism of the 12 C(γ, 3α) reaction, for γ-ray energies, E γ , up to about 40 MeV, has been determined from a study of over 2500 stars in nuclear emulsions. The study includes investigation of the angular distributions and correlations of the α-particles. The reaction is initiated mainly by electric-dipole and electric-quadrupole γ-ray interaction, the former being unexpectedly strong when E γ < 20 MeV. For E γ < 25 MeV the reaction proceeds mainly by transitions to the ground-state of 8 Be (spin J = 0), and to 2⋅95 ± 0⋅10 MeV ( J = 2) and 4⋅0 ± 0⋅1 MeV ( J = 2 or 4) levels of 8 Be. Transitions to levels near 6, 10 and 15 MeV (all J = 0, 2 or 4) become predominant when 25 MeV ≤ E γ <26 MeV. For E γ ≥ 26 MeV, most transitions lead to 16⋅8 ± 0⋅2 MeV ( J = 2) and 17⋅6 ± 0⋅2 MeV ( J = 2, possibly 0) levels, and possibly to a further 16⋅4 ± 0⋅2 MeV ( J = 0 or 2) level, levels which have not been detected in other reactions. The reaction mechanism is interpreted in terms of competing modes of decay of a compound nucleus, demonstrating the strong influence of the isotopic spins ( T ) of the levels of 12 C and 8 Be involved. For example, the 2 + levels of 12 C involved when 16 MeV ≤ E γ <20 MeV are (unexpectedly) found to have T = 1, and the 16⋅8 and 17⋅6 MeV levels of 8 Be are also found to have T = 1. The relationship of the 12 C (γ, 3α) reaction to other 12 C photodisintegration reactions (including some new reactions established during the present experiments) is discussed.

AbstractObservations of the interplanetary shock provide us with strong evidences of particle acceleration to multi-MeV protons in a coronal mass ejection (CME). Diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) is an efficient mechanism for cosmic ray (CR). This work presents a dynamical Monte Carlo simulation of a CME-driven shock on 14-Dec-2006 by using a series of Gaussian scattering angular distributions. With the simulated results, we find that particle energy spectrum is affected by energy injection processes under the anisotropic scattering law.

Based on the DMBE potential surface of the 4 A ″ ground-state, the product rotational polarizations in the title reaction are studied by using quasiclassical trajectory (QCT) calculation method. Three angular distributions of P(θr), P(Φr), P(θr, Φr) and the four polarization-dependent differential cross sections (PDDCSs) were calculated for the collision energy range of 1–20 kcal/mol. The results revealed that the product is backward-scattering and the product rotational angular momentum j′ is aligned and oriented. With the increment of collision energy, the degree of the product alignment and orientation is enhanced, showing the collision energy-dependent behaviors of the product polarizations.

<p>Photodissociation of the <i>i</i>-C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>7</sub>O radical is investigated using fast beam photofragment translational spectroscopy. Neutral <i>i</i>-C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>7</sub>O radicals are produced through the photodetachment of a fast beam of <i>i</i>-C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>7</sub>O<sup>-</sup> anions and are subsequently dissociated using 248 nm (5.0 eV). The dominant product channels are CH<sub>3</sub> + CH<sub>3</sub>CHO and OH + C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>6</sub> with some contribution from H + C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>6</sub>O. CH<sub>3</sub> and H loss are attributed to dissociation on the ground electronic state of <i>i</i>-C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>7</sub>O, but in a nonstatistical manner because RRKM dissociation rates exceed the rate of energy randomization. Translational energy and angular distributions for OH loss are consistent with ground state dissociation, but the branching ratio for this channel is considerably higher than predicted from RRKM rate calculations. These results corroborate what has been observed previously in C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>5</sub>O dissociation at 5.2 eV that yields CH<sub>3</sub>, H, and OH loss. Additionally, <i>i</i>-C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>7</sub>O undergoes three-body fragmentation to CH<sub>3</sub> + CH<sub>3</sub> + HCO and CH<sub>3</sub> + CH<sub>4</sub> + CO. These three-body channels are attributed to dissociation of <i>i</i>-C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>7</sub>O to CH<sub>3</sub> + CH<sub>3</sub>CHO, followed by secondary dissociation of CH<sub>3</sub>CHO on its ground electronic state.</p>
