Abstract

Yield curves have been measured at 45°, 90° and 135° for the reaction T(p,γ)He⁴ for proton energies from 4 to 11 MeV. No evidence was found for fine structure observed in the inverse reaction He⁴(γ,p)T. Angular distributions were also measured at several proton energies. The results show that the gamma radiation is principally E1 but with a small E2 component which increases with excitation energy in He⁴. No evidence was found for interaction in triplet states.

Electric monopole transitions in nuclei
2022, Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics
Electric monopole, $E 0$ transitions in nuclei are reviewed. Values for $ρ^{2} (E 0) \times 1 0^{3}$ , $X (E 0 / E 2)$ and $q_{K}^{2} (E 0 / E 2)$ are tabulated. Particular attention is paid to a complete re-evaluation of all reported values starting from raw input data, i.e. none of the adopted values are taken from the literature without evaluation. Values for $J \to J$ transitions for $J = 0$ , $J = 2$ , and some selected $J = 4$ transitions are given. The $2 \to 2$ transitions involve evaluation of $δ (E 2 / M 1)$ mixing ratios. These were usually assessed from values given in ENSDF. Asymmetric uncertainties and multiple sources of error are handled using up-to-date, Monte Carlo-based procedures. All conversion coefficients and electronic factors are taken from the latest tabulations. As a second major component of the review, a detailed illustration of the association of $E 0$ transition strengths with the manifestation of shape coexistence in nuclei is made. This demonstrates that large $E 0$ transition strengths are a strong indication of the presence of shape coexistence in nuclei. In many cases this is shown to be directly corroborated by $B (E 2)$ data. Some details of experimental techniques behind the input data are given. The connection between $E 0$ transition strengths and mean-square charge radii, isotope and isomer shifts is sketched.
GDR problem in photodisintegration of 4He

The 12C(n, γ<inf>0</inf>)13C reaction in the giant resonance region
1986, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The $^{12} C (n, γ_{0})^{13} C$ excitation function at 90° has been measured in the neutron energy region of 7.0 MeV to 19.5 MeV. The results show a prominent giant resonance at 17.2 MeV and a broad “pygmy” resonance structure around 10 MeV. We obtain good agreement with the results observed for the $^{12} C (p, γ_{0})^{13} N$ reaction both with regard to the shape of the 90° excitation function and to the absolute magnitude of the cross section. However, cross sections obtained by detailed balance from the ¹³C(γ, n₀)¹²C reaction are almost a factor of two higher. Direct-semidirect (DSD) calculations are presented for both (p, γ) and (n, γ) reactions.
Radiative capture to 4He
1981, Nuclear Physics, Section A
Particle capture calculations to ⁴He have been performed within the framework of the continuum shell model with full correction for target recoil and with non-central forces. Differential cross section and polarization results are presented for both neutron and proton capture. The calculations include E1, E2 and M2 contributions. The calculated ratio of total cross sections, σ(γ, p)/σ(γ, n) is close to one above E_p = 4 MeV. Possible corrections to this ratio are discussed. The calculated E2 strength is very broad and structureless. The maximum E2 strength is near 63 $A^{−13}$ MeV excitation. Of this E2 strength virtually all is ¹D₂.
The 90° differential cross section for the reaction 4He (γ, n<inf>0</inf>)3He and evidence for isospin mixing in the dipole states of 4He

An experimental investigation of meson effects in high-energy photodisintegration of light nuclei
1970, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The ³He(γ, p)d and ⁴He(γ, p)t differential cross sections at 90° in the c.m.s. have been measured in the γ-ray energy region 200–500 MeV using a liquid helium target and spark chamber technique. The ⁴He photodisintegration shows a resonant behaviour in the energy interval 240–330 MeV, not observed in the ³He process.
Such different behaviour can be tentatively interpreted, in analogy with deuteron photo-disintegration, on the basis of a pion photoproduction and the re-absorption model.
