Abstract

Excitation functions for the reaction 11B(3He, γ0)14N have been measured, at 0° and 90° in 25 keV steps for 3He energies between 0.9 and 2.6 MeV. The γ-ray detector used was a 23.8 × 25.4 cm NaI(Tl) crystal. When the yield from the reaction is divided by the barrier penetration factor a broad resonance is seen at both angles, which peaks at a 3He energy of 1.4 MeV, corresponding to an excitation energy in 14N of 21.8 MeV. The (3He, γ) excitation functions are compared with other reaction channels leading to the same excitation region in 14N. Angular distributions were measured at six 3He energies and were found to be approximately isotropic. Possible spin assignments are discussed.
