THE B$sup 11$ (p,$gamma$$alpha$)Be$sup 8$ REACTION AND THE 9.63 Mev STATE OF C$sup 1$$sup 2$

Journal Article · · Nuclear Phys.
An attempt to measure the cross section for transitions between the 16.11 and 9.63 Mev states of C/sup 12/ is reported and an upper Unit of 30% of that for ground state transitions is given. Theoretical formulas are given for the observable coincidence rate in the B/sup 11/(p, gamma alpha )Be/sup 8/ reaction at 163 kev bombarding energy as a function of gamma detector acceptance angle for two positions of this detector. These formulas are used in conjunction with experimentally determined background rates to assess the possibility of determining the spin of the 9.63 Mev state of C/sup 12/ by means of angular correlation measurements.
