Abstract

Shell model calculations using the effective interaction approach of Talmi are reported for normal parity states in nuclei of mass number 6–9. To fit simultaneously the energies of levels in these nuclei, energy shifts of ground state rotational bands in ⁸Be and ⁹Be are introduced. These shifts have their origin in the deformations of nuclei. The obtained matrix elements fit the data better than those of earlier authors, and resemble the matrix elements obtained from realistic interactions such as the Hamada-Johnston potential. Theoretical predictions are compared with new experimental data. M1 radiative widths, log ft values, and spectroscopic factors for single- and two-nucleon transfers are given to help in the interpretation of new data. The need for carrying out more calculations for 1p shell nuclei with realistic forces is discussed.

Energy dependence of the 7Be(p, γ)8B S factor, and charge symmetry in the 7Li+n and 7Be+p systems
2006, Nuclear Physics A
The measured energy dependence of the ⁷Be( $p, γ$ )⁸B S factor is fitted better by the cluster-model calculation of Descouvemont and Baye than by other models. It is suggested here that this may be connected with the cluster model predicting too high an absolute value of the S factor. Evidence for a breakdown of charge symmetry between the ⁷Li+n and ⁷Be+p systems is discussed and found not to be convincing. R-matrix formulae are used.
Low-lying resonance states in the 9Be continuum
2005, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
Excited states in ⁹Be from 2 to 9 MeV are studied via beta delayed particle emission from ⁹Li. The broad overlapping particle unbound states are investigated using an extension of an experimental method developed for dealing with three-body decays of broad isolated levels. The results confirm the existence of a broad state at 5 MeV, with a width of 2 MeV. Angular correlations are used for firm spin determinations for this and other levels.
The 9Be(n,p)9Li reaction and the Gamow-Teller unit cross section
2000, Nuclear Physics A
Double differential cross sections of the $^{9}$ Be(n,p) $^{9}$ Li reaction have been measured at 96 MeV in the angular range $0°−27°$ up to about 20 MeV excitation energy. In addition, the $^{12}$ C(n,p) $^{12}$ B reaction has been measured in the same angular and excitation energy range. Cross sections for reactions leading to the ground state and the first excited state (2.69 MeV) of $^{9}$ Li have been analysed using peak-fitting techniques. The data have been compared with cross sections obtained from distorted-wave Born approximation calculations. A Gamow–Teller (GT) unit cross section for the ground state transition of $7.4±1.2$ mb $/$ sr was determined from the identified GT strength. Discrepancies in the Gamow–Teller unit cross sections for different (n,p) and (p,n) transitions from the $^{9}$ Be ground state, resembling the situation for $^{13}$ C, have been found.
Study of the 7Be(p, γ)8B and 7Li(n, γ)8Li capture reactions using the shell model embedded in the continuum
1999, Nuclear Physics A
Theoretical studies of 8He β-decay
1996, Nuclear Physics A
According to selection rules the β-decay of ⁸He 0_g.s.⁺ to the first excited 1⁺, 0.98 MeV state of ⁸Li is an allowed Gamow-Teller transition, but it is strongly suppressed by the different SU(4) spin-isospin structure of the ⁸He and ⁸Li states. We find that a three-body α + t + n model of ⁸Li strongly underestimates the probability for β-decay (to the ⁸Li (0.98) state, $^{7} Li + n$ continuum and α + t + n continuum). A qualitative explanation of total B_GT values, extracted from experiment, to different 1⁺ states can be given supposing an admixture of a “democratic” α + 4N configuration in the ⁸Li wave functions. We show that the experimental β-delayed neutron spectrum provides some evidence for the existence of 1⁻ and/or 2⁻ states in the vicinity of the two-body $^{7} Li + n$ and $^{7} Li^{∗} (0.47) + n$ thresholds. Using the phase volume approximation to the analysis of the triton spectrum, the position of the Gamow-Teller resonance (Halo Analogue state) is estimated between 8.5 and 8.8 MeV excitation energy in the ⁸Li spectrum. One of the possibilities to excite this state could be the ⁶Li(⁶He,α)⁸He^∗ reaction.
Low-energy M1 strength in the 7Li(ρ, γ<inf>0</inf>)8Be reaction
1996, Nuclear Physics A
The ⁷Li(p, γ₀)⁸Be reaction is studied in a microscopic cluster model. All relevant subsystem properties are well reproduced. The calculated astrophysical S-factor is in good agreement with the experimental data, although some M1 strength is missing in the 1⁺; 1 resonance region, and there is no contribution from the 1⁺; 0 state. Our model predicts, in contradiction to experiment, a dominant I = 1 channel spin contribution to the cross section. We estimate an M1 strength of 3.5% at 80 keV. By assuming the experimental resonance parameters and channel spin ratio for the first 1⁺ state that M1 strength is 6.3%, in good agreement with an R-matrix analysis.
