Abstract
In the framework of a potential model we have calculated the various bremsstrahlung cross sections into the5Li ground state, includingM 1 andE 2 γ-transitions leading from the high energy wing of the5Li ground state resonance into states belonging to the same resonance at lower energy (intrastate transition). Our calculation supports the hypothesis of Schmalbrock et al. [1] that intrastate transitions ofM 1 andE 2 multipolarity exist. While we find a maximum cross section of roughly 1.4 nb for theE 2 transition, we predict the cross sections forM 1 intrastate transition to be less than 3·10−5nb. An experimental observation of the intrastate γ-ray emission appears to be very difficult due to the dominance of competing resonant (M 1) and direct (E 1) capture processes.
Schmalbrock et al. have suggested to deduce magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments of resonant states from the measurements of the respectiveM 1 andE 2 intrastate transitions. We will show that theM 1 intrastate cross sections do not yield the appropriate information to determine the magnetic dipole moment. We will also discuss thatE 2 intrastate transitions do not seem to be a suited tool to find the quadrupole moment of an unstable state.
