Accurate Branching Ratio Measurements in 23Na(p, g)24Mg

Abstract

The reaction 23Na(p, y)24Mg has been investigated in the proton energy range O' 3-1' 75 MeV. Gamma ray spectra were measured for 22 resonances with Ge(Li) detectors which were carefully calibrated for relative peak efficiencies. Allowance was made for the effect of anisotropies in all the emitted y-rays. The speCtra have been analysed to give branching ratios for bound and unbound levels.
