Opažanje α-raspada 10B i 12B u 9Be +7Li reakcijama

The 10B and 12B excitation energy spectra have been obtained from the inclusive and coincident measurements of the 9Be +7Li reactions at Ebeam=52 MeV. Contributions of the 10B states below 10 MeV and of the 12B states below 16 MeV excitation have been resolved. 10B states at 4.77 and 6.56 MeV as well as groups of states around 5.1 and 6 MeV decaying into α +6Li, and of the state at 7.0 MeV decaying into α +6Li∗ have been found. These measurements give the first evidence for α +8Li decay of the 12B states. In our data, there is no evidence for the α +8Li∗ (0.98 MeV) and α +8Li∗ (2.26 MeV) decays of 12B. The influence of α-decaying 12B states on the cross section of the astrophysically important 8Li(α,n)11B reaction is discussed.Odredili smo uzbudne energijske spektre 10B i 12B uključivim i sudesnim mjerenjima reakcije 9Be+7Li na Esnop=52 MeV. Razdvojili smo doprinose stanja 10B ispod 10 MeV i stanja 12B ispod 16 MeV. Našli smo raspade stanja 10B na 4.77 i 6.56 MeV i grupa stanja oko 5.1 i oko 6 MeV u α +6Li, i stanja na 7.0 MeV u α +6Li∗ . Ovo su prva mjerenja u kojima se nalazi α +8Li raspad viših stanja 12B. Naši podaci ne ukazuju prisutnost α +8Li∗ (0.98 MeV) i α +8Li∗ (2.26 MeV) raspada 12B. Raspravljamo utjecaj stanja 12B koja podliježu α-raspadu na udarne presjeke astrofizički važne reakcije 8Li(α,n)11B

Reakcija 11B(p,αα) 4He u uvjetima kolinearnosti

The 11B(p,αα) 4He reaction was measured at eight incident proton energies, from 2 to 5.5 MeV, for the collinearity configurations (an α-particle at rest in the c.m. system). The results are compared with predictions of the Sch¨afer model. Involvement of the 12C states with excitation energy between 17.8 and 21 MeV is discussed.Mjerena je reakcija 11B(p,αα) 4He za osam upadnih energija protona, od 2 do 5.5 MeV, u uvjetima kolinearnosti (jedna α-čestica miruje u sustavu centra masa). Rezultati su uspoređeni s predviđanjima Schaferovog modela. Diskutirana je uloga stanja jezgre 12C s energijama pobuđenja između 17.8 i 21 MeV

10Be i molekulska stanja

The 10Be excitation energy spectra have been obtained from the inclusive and coincident measurements of the reactions: 7Li +7Li at E0 = 8 and 30 MeV and 9Be +7Li at E0 = 52 MeV. Contributions of the 10Be states below 12 MeV in excitation have been observed. Decays of the states at 9.6, 10.2 and 11.8 into a +6He and, for the first time, into a +6He* have been found. The results are discussed in addition to the other experimental data and recent theoretical predictions. Proposals for future measurements to search for exotic structures in carbon nuclei are also made.Proučavamo ekscitacijske energijske spektre 10Be iz inkluzivnih i koincidentnih mjerenja reakcija 7Li +7Li na E0 = 8 i 30 MeV, te 9Be +7Li na E0 = 52 MeV. Opaženi su doprinosi stanja 10Be u energiji uzbude do 12 MeV. Nađeni su raspadi stanja na 9.6, 10.2 i 11.8 MeV na α +6He te, po prvi put, na α +6He∗. Ovi se rezultati razmatraju zajedno s ostalim eksperimentalnim podacima i novijim teorijskim predviđanjima. Predlažu se buduća mjerenja u kojima bi se tražila stanja lakih jezgara egzotične građe

Interesting states in A = 10 mass region, populated in 10B + 10B nuclear reactions

The 10B+10B reactions are measured at beam energies of 50 and 72.2 MeV. The large spin of 10B nucleus (J= 3+) makes this reaction particularly suitable to populate high spin states in the exit channels. Population and decay of different states in A≈10 mass region is studied, and the results are discussed from the structure point of view. In particular, a new state in 12C at Ex= 24.4 MeV is observed to be strongly populated in the triple α-particle coincidences

Study of interstrip gap effects and efficiency for full energy detection of Double Sided Silicon Strip Detectors

In this work is reported a study on the response of double sided silicon strip detectors. In order to investigate the effect of the electrode segmentation on the detector response, two experiments were performed aimed to measure the efficiency for full energy detection. Results show that the efficiency for full energy detection, that is directly related to effective width of the inter-strip region, varies with both detected ion energy and bias voltage. The experimental results are qualitatively reproduced by a simplified model based on the Shockley-Ramo-Gunn framework
