RESONANCES IN YIELD CURVE OF THE SI-30(PROTON, GAMMA)P-31 REACTION (E SUB P 1.5 TO 3.0 MEV RANGE),

Abstract

This study was concerned with proton energies between 1.5 and 3.0 Mev and is intended to be an extension of experimental work done previously in this laboratory. It was performed to provide the basis for further investigation of the excited states of p-31. The reaction Si-30 (p, gamma)p-31 within the range of proton energies 1.5 to 3.0 Mev has been studied by several authors but, the range was covered com pletely only by Barnard et al. Using an en riched Si-30 target approximately 7 kev thick and incident proton energies from 1.0 to 4.25 Mev, Barnard et al. found 46 resonances over the range covered in this study. However, because of the inherent nature of p-31 to display groups of closely spaced resonance levels, it was felt that the experimental results of Barnard et al. might not have resolved all the existing resonance levels. The data obtained in this work show that this feeling was justified to an extent far beyond intuitive expectations. (Author)
