Abstract

Angular distributions of the ³He polarization analysing power of the elastic scattering of ³He by ³H have been measured at 33.3, 29.9, 27.7, 25.3,23.5 and 19.9 MeV. Differential cross section angular distributions were also measured at 33.3, 29.9, 25.3 and 23.5 MeV, as well as excitation functions of both cross section and ³He polarization over the energy range from 20 to 33 MeV. The data have been analysed in terms of phase shifts. The presence of broad P- and F-levels in ⁶Li with (³He + ³H) structure predicted by the resonating group theory has been confirmed.

Structure of light hypernuclei
2009, Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics
The structure of light hypernuclei with strangeness $S = - 1$ and $- 2$ is investigated with the microscopic cluster model and the Gaussian expansion method (GEM). We emphasize that the cluster picture as well as the mean-field picture is invaluable to understand the structure of $Λ$ hypernuclei, $Σ$ hypernuclei and double $Λ$ hypernuclei. A variety of aspects of $Λ$ hypernuclei is demonstrated through a systematic study of $p$ -shell hypernuclei ( $_{Λ}^{6} He$ , $_{Λ}^{6} Li$ , $_{Λ}^{7} Li$ , $_{Λ}^{8} Li$ , $_{Λ}^{8} Be$ , $_{Λ}^{9} Be$ , $_{Λ}^{13} C$ ) and $s d$ -shell ones ( $_{Λ}^{20} Ne$ , $_{Λ}^{21} Ne$ ): for example, the appearance of genuine hypernuclear states with new spatial symmetry which cannot be seen in ordinary nuclei, the glue-like role of the $Λ$ particle which shrinks the size of nuclear core and thus reduces the $B$ (E2) value, and the halo and skin structures in $_{Λ}^{6} He$ and $_{Λ}^{6} Li$ etc. The typical light hypernucleus $_{Λ}^{9} Be$ is thoroughly investigated, including its production, structure and decay. Precise three-body and four-body calculations of $_{Λ}^{7} Li$ , $_{Λ}^{9} Be$ and $_{Λ}^{13} C$ using GEM provide important information on the spin structure of the underlying $Λ N$ interaction, by comparing with recent experimental data from $γ$ -ray hypernuclear spectroscopy. The $Λ – Σ$ coupling effect is studied in $_{Λ}^{4} H$ and $_{Λ}^{4} He$ . The binding mechanism of $_{Σ}^{4} He$ is discussed together with the possible existence of $_{Σ}^{7} Li$ , emphasizing the fact that the study of $_{Σ}^{7} Li$ is useful for extracting information on the $Σ N$ interaction differing from that from $_{Σ}^{4} He$ . A systematic study of double- $Λ$ hypernuclei, constrained by the NAGARA data ( $_{Λ}^{}_{Λ}^{6} He$ ) within a four-body cluster model indicates that the recently observed Demachi–Yanagi event can be interpreted as the $2^{+}$ state of $_{Λ}^{}_{Λ}^{10} Be$ . The effect of hyperon mixing in $_{Λ}^{}_{Λ}^{6} He$ and $_{Λ}^{}_{Λ}^{10} Be$ is investigated using one-boson-exchange potentials and quark-cluster-model interactions for the $S = - 2$ sector. A close relation between nuclear deep hole states and hypernuclei is discussed, emphasizing the selection rule for fragmentation of the $s$ -hole in light nuclei, which is promising for understanding the production mechanism of double- $Λ$ and twin- $Λ$ hypernuclei via $Ξ$ -atomic capture.
Tri-nucleon cluster structure in A=6 nuclei above cluster decay threshold

t+3He molecular structures in6Li studied by ( 3He,α) reaction at 450 MeV
2004, Nuclear Physics A
Tri-nucleon cluster-structures in⁶Li were investigated by using the⁷Li(³He,α) reaction at 450 MeV and atθ_L = 0°. A binary decay into t+³He from a broad peak atE_x = 21 MeV was observed. The branching ratio for the binary decay was estimated to be 0.8±0.2. From the measured angular correlations and the analysis of the spectral shape by using the Breit-Wigner formula, the peak was identified to be composed of two tri-nucleon cluster-states (t+³He) of the¹P-state atE_x = 18MeV with a width (FWHM) of 5 MeV and the³P-state atE_x = 22MeV with a width of 8 MeV.

Analysis of gases using 33 MeV He recoil detection technique
1989, Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, B
Measurements of hydrogen and light elements in gases have been performed using the elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA) technique at the Radial Ridge Cyclotron facility of the School of Physics and Space Research. A 33 MeV beam of ³He particles was employed to bombard the gas samples contained in a small, medium-pressure gas cell. The recoiled particles were detected with a standard silicon detector telescope arrangement. As the gas sample could be considered to behave as a thin target, measurements were made in a transmission geometry with kinematic coincidence. By using ERDA, coupled with this kinematic coincidence technique, sensitivities down to 1 part in 10⁶ can be achieved. Light element isotopes up to ⁷Li can be detected with this system. The performance of this analytical method and its application to gases is discussed in detail.
Hot nuclear matter at low density
1987, Physics Letters B
The equation of state of nuclear matter at high excitation is calculated in a virial expansion of the densities of the light nuclei (M⩽4). The virial coefficients are shown to depend only on properties of the S-matrix for light particle scattering. Relative concentrations of these species are estimated and compared to data from heavy-ion experiments to infer a breakup density and temperature. The breakup density is remarkably low, about 1/100th of normal nuclear density.
