Abstract
The double-differential cross sections for the reaction 15N(p, αγ)12C induced by 7.5-MeV protons are measured for alpha-particle emission angles from 20° to 160°. All even spin-tensor components of the density matrix for the 2+ state (4.44 MeV) of the final nucleus are reconstructed by a model-independent method. For the same state of the carbon nucleus, the populations of magnetic sublevels and the components of the angular-momentum-orientation tensor are analyzed as functions of the alpha-particle emission angle. Our experimental data are compared with theoretical predictions based on the triton-cluster-pickup mechanism treated within the coupled-channel method. It is shown that correlation features are sensitive to the reaction mechanism and to structural characteristics of the nuclei involved. The role of sequential processes is emphasized.
