Abstract

The angular correlation between the neutrons to the 4.43 MeV state and the γ-rays from this level to the ground state in C12 for the reaction Be9(α, nγ)C12 has been studied at a bombarding energy of 3.35 MeV. The correlations were measured both in the reaction plane and the azimuthal plane at four different neutron detector angles, viz. θn = −10°, −20°, −75° and −135°. The correlation for a certain θn was first measured in the reaction plane and the correlations in the azimuthal plane were then measured around and parallel to the symmetry axis found in the reaction plane. The symmetry axis for the different θn was found to be θsym = −5°, −15°, −50° and −85°, respectively.
