Line Shapes of Low Levels in 8Be via the 9Be (p, d)8Be Reaction

Abstract

Reaction mechanisms and line shapes of energy levels in sBe have been studied in the bombardment of 9Be by protons of energies up to 5· 2 MeV. The (p, d) process was found to follow a pick·up mechanism, and with this information the detailed line shape of the sBe ground state was inferred. An R·matrix description using a conventional channel radius of 3·5 fm was found to be not in agreement with the results.
