Abstract

Relative populations of states in B11 following the C12(γ,p)B11 reaction have been measured with high resolution using a 70% HpGe γ detector to observe decay γ rays from the residual nucleus. The triplet of states near 7 MeV in B11 are resolved and the measured populations compared to previous data. The analysis includes a consideration of γ-proton angular correlations, which was not made in the previous measurement. The new and previous results corrected for angular correlation effects agree reasonably well with calculations that include one- and two-body nuclear currents, pion exchange, and Δ currents, under the assumption that the photons are mainly absorbed on exchanged pions.
