Abstract

Measurements of the α-n angular correlation in the sequential reaction ⁷Li (d,α) ⁵He (g.s) → ⁴He + n indicate V that the ⁵He intermediate state does not break up symmetrically about the recoil centre-of-mass system. The angular correlation can be explained in terms of a compound nuclear reaction proceeding through levels in ⁹Be^∗.

Angular distribution of the protons from 5Li<inf>g.s.</inf> decay in the 6Li(3He, α)5Li → α + p reaction
1988, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The $^{6} Li (^{3} He, α)^{5} Li → α + p$ reaction has been studied at energies of 1.5, 1.73, 3.0 and 3.5 MeV. From the measurements of the alpha-proton coincidences the angular distribution of protons from the decay of the particle unstable ⁵Li nucleus have been derived. They are asymmetric relative to the ⁵Li recoil momentum, in agreement with earlier experiments. A possible explanation of this asymmetry is given in terms of a strong polarization of the ⁵Li as is expected in an angular momentum mismatched transfer reaction.
