Abstract

The absolute differential cross sections and vector and tensor analyzing powers for the He3(d→,γ)5Li and H3(d→,γ)5He reactions have been measured both in the jπ=3/2+ fusion resonance region [Ed(lab)=0.45 MeV and Ed(lab) = 0.1 MeV, respectively] and at Ed(lab)=8.6 MeV for several angles. In the fusion resonance region, a transition matrix element (TME) analysis of the observables leads to multiple solutions for both reactions, all of which indicate that the reactions proceed predominantly through s-wave (E1) capture, with small admixtures of M1 or E2 radiation. One solution for each reaction is dominated by a large (∼90%) 4s3/2(E1) capture strength. Coupled-channels resonating group model (CCRGM) calculations have been performed which favor these solutions. In the CCRGM picture, the jπ=3/2+ fusion resonance in the capture cross section is a consequence of the tensor force, which couples the s=3/2, d+3He (or d+3H) channel to the s=1/2, p+4He (or n+4He) channel, enabling the reactions to proceed via the spin-independent (E1) transition to the ground state. At Ed(lab)=8.6 MeV, a TME analysis of the He3(d→,γ)5Li reaction yields a single solution which has >80% s-wave (E1) capture strength, whereas two TME solutions exist for the H3(d→,γ)5He reaction with 45% and 65% s-wave (E1) capture strength. These data are also compared to the results of the CCRGM calculations.
