  • Article: A Search for Isobaric Analogue States in 58Co from the 57Fe(p,γ)58Co Reaction
    B Erlandsson, A Marcinkowski
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The 57Fe(p,γ)58Co reaction has been investigated in the proton energy region Ep = 1 580-2 125 keV. Branching ratios for low lying levels and decay schemes for seven resonances have been investigated, and possible analogue states or fragments of analogue states of the 2 782 keV (1+) and 2 876 keV (2+) levels in 58Fe have been suggested. The investigated analogue states give a Coulomb displacement energy of 8 846 ± 20 keV.

  • Article: Cross Section of Rb at 14 MeV Neutron Energy and the Decay of Rb
    B Erlandsson, A Marcinkowski, K Nilson
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The decay of the metastable state in 84Rb has been studied by means of the 85Rb(n, 2n)84Rb and the 85Rb(γ, n)84Rb reactions. A possible but very weak feeding of excited states in 84Kr directly from the metastable state is suggested. The cross sections for the (n, 2n), (n, p) and (n, α) reactions of the target nuclei 85Rb and 87Rb were measured by the activation method with 14.8 MeV neutrons.

  • Article: Multistep direct emission from nucleon-induced reactions
    A. Marcinkowski, P. Demetriou
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Unbound 1p1h states are excited together with the bound ones in one-step direct processes induced by nucleons of energy greater than the particle binding energy. The cross-sections of the one-step direct reactions to bound final states are folded into a convolution integral to obtain the multistep cross-sections. This is done in the framework of the theory of Feshbach, Kerman and Koonin (FKK) that describes the emission of one particle. The processes to unbound 1p1h final states give rise to more complicated direct reactions, that are evaluated by an approximate method. The comparison of the theory with inclusive proton inelastic scattering by iron and with the charge exchange (p,n) reaction on zirconium is revised, at energies from 25 MeV to 120 MeV. It is shown that in the case of the (p,n) reaction the theory of FKK does not account for approximately 35% of the direct processes.

  • Article: Multistep Direct Reactions at Low Energies
    A. Marcinkowski, P. Demetriou, B. Mariański
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The cross sections for neutron inelastic scattering by niobium at 20 MeV and for the charge-exchange (p,n) reaction on copper at 27 MeV have been calculated using the multistep direct reaction theory of Feshbach, Kerman and Koonin [1]. The theory was modified to include the non-DWBA matrix elements and the collective vibrations. The results show enhanced contributions from two-, three- and four-step direct reactions in agreement with experiment.

  • Article: Are pre-equilibrium reactions mainly direct?
    A Marcinkowski, P Demetriou, P E Hodgson
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Cross sections for the (p,xn) reactions for proton energies from 9 to 27 MeV on targets from titanium to thulium are consistently explained by statistical direct reactions accompanied by gradual absorption of protons into successive compound states of increasing complexity which evolve towards the compound nucleus. It is shown that, in the absence of strong collective excitations, pre-equilibrium compound reactions prevail over direct processes. Physical parameters of the multistep direct reaction model are obtained, which when applied in analyses of (n,xn) data may reveal the extent of collective enhancement of the scattering cross section.

  • Article: A consistent analysis of , , and multistep reactions using the Feshbach - Kerman - Koonin theory
    P Demetriou, P E Hodgson, A Marcinkowski, Y Watanabe
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The multistep reaction theory of Feshbach, Kerman and Koonin is used to analyse data on nuclear reactions to the continuum. The multistep direct, multistep compound, collective and compound nucleus cross sections are calculated with the same set of parameters and it is found that it is possible to fit the , and data in a fully consistent way. The data, however, could only be fitted by approximately doubling the strength of the effective interaction. Several possible reasons for this were investigated including isospin effects, neutron - proton distinguishability, sensitivity to optical potentials and non-locality effects, but the difficulty still remains.

  • Article: Elastic and inelastic scattering of 9.1 MeV protons from magnesium isotopes
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Angular distributions have been measured for the elastic and inelastic scattering of protons from magnesium isotopes at the proton energy Ep=9.1 MeV. Optical-model parameter searches yielded potential parameters used in the total Hauser-Feshbach and DWBA calculations. The ratios of the total experimental to the total Hauser-Feshbach inelastic cross sections for different states of 25Mg and 26Mg are found to lie in relatively narrow bands around the average values. A significant enhancement of these ratios with respect to the average values is observed only for the first excited members of the ground-state rotational bands of these nuclei. The enhancement is attributed to direct rotational excitation. The deformation parameters for these states are extracted with the aid of DWBA and are compared with those previously established.

  • Article: Pre-equilibrium and collective reactions in neutron inelastic scattering by the rotational nuclei
    A Marcinkowski, P Demetriou, P E Hodgson
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Pre-equilibrium neutron emission includes substantial collective excitations in the continuum region that add to the multistep direct and multistep compound reactions. These collective reactions are investigated for the strongly-deformed, rotational tungsten nucleus. The collective cross sections are calculated using the macroscopic model. The results describe the neutron emission cross sections measured at 14.1 MeV and 26 MeV incident neutron energy.

    ABSTRACT: Cross sections for70,72,73,74Ge(n, p)70,72,73,74Ga,70Ge(n, 2n)69Ge,72Ge (n,)69Zn m and74Ge(n, )71Zn m reactions are measured in the energy range from 13.0 to 16.6 MeV by the activation method using Ge(Li) detector-ray spectroscopy and compared with predictions of the reaction model incorporating preequilibrium and equilibrium emission mechanisms to interpret the energy dependence of the isotopic effect occuring in the (n, p) reaction. The fitted single-particle state-density parametersg, determined here for the germaniums are discussed together with theg-values found previously for the Se, Zr and Pd isotopic chains. A validity of the consistency condition between the precompound and compound models, which relatesg to the experimental level-density parametera viaa= 2 g/6 is demonstrated.

  • Article: Cross sections of fast neutron induced reactions on selenium isotopes
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Cross sections for74, 76, 77, 78Se(n, p)74, 76, 77, 78As,76,Se(n,2n)75Se and80Se(n, )77,Ge reactions have been measured in the energy range from 13.0 to 16.6 MeV by the activation technique using Ge(Li) detector-ray spectroscopy. Samples of selenium of natural isotopic composition were used as targets. The measurements provide information on the evolution of the (n, p) excitation functions with the increasing target neutron number (isotopic effect). The reaction model combining the compound nucleus and the preequilibrium emission processes is used to interpret these three types of reactions. The isotopic trend for the (n, p) reactions due to the neutron-proton competition in the compound nucleus is satisfactorily reproduced. However, a further experimental and theoretical work is needed for a better understanding of the origins of discrepancies which are suggested to be related to the precompound aspects of the assumed reaction model.

  • Article: Investigation of65Cu by means of the average resonance proton capture method
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The64Ni(p, )65Cu reaction has been studied in the proton energy rangeE p =2.05–2.55 MeV. The gamma-ray spectra were recorded with a three-crystal pair spectrometer at proton energy differences of 19 keV covering the proton energy range. An average gamma-ray spectrum was formed by adding all the individual spectra after proper adjustment as a result of the alterations in proton energy. The intensities of the gamma rays to final states with knownJ -values were tested against theoretical calculations based on the Hauser-Feshbach theory. The gamma-ray strength function for energies lower than 9 MeV has been extracted from the experiment.

    ABSTRACT: The gamma-ray decay of the 1658 keV resonance, which is a member of the isobaric analogues of the 1904 keV 3/2– level in44Ca, has been studied with a Ge(Li) detector. A number of gamma-ray transitions are described and associated with the decay of 15 levels between 1.50 and 3.05 MeV. These observations have made it possible to deduce spin and parity assignments to some of the levels. By comparing excited levels of43Sc and45Sc it has been possible to assign certain levels as members of one negative-parity band and two positive-parity bands withK =1/2+ and 3/2+.
