Angular distributions and excitation curves for the Be(p, alpha /sub 0/)/ sup 6/Li and Be(p, alpha /sub 1/)/sup 6*/Li (2.18 Mev) reactions have been measured for proton bombarding energies from 3.50 to 12.50 Mev. Total cross sections for alpha /sub 0/ and alpha /sub 1/ as well as 90 deg (lab) yields are monotonically decreasing functions of energy, and the angular distributions show very little change with energy. These data suggest that the reaction is predominantly a direct process over the energy interval studied. No prominent resonance behavior is observed in the energy interval corresponding to excitation energies in /sup 10/B from 9.3 to 17.8 Mev. In order to perform a consistent distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA) calculation of the reaction, elastic scattering expenlments in the ertrance and exit channels were performed. At the same time data were obtained on several other reactions, namely /sup 9/Be(p,d) / sup 8/Be /sup 9/Be(p p')/sup 9/* Be (2.43 Mev), /sup 6/Li( alpha alpha ')/sup 6/ Li (2 .18 Mev) and /sup 6/Li( alpha ,d)/sup 8/Be. Optical model parameters for the zero-range DWBA calculation of /sup 9/Be(p, alpha )/sup 6/Li were obtained by analyzing the elastic scattering data. Results of the calculation based on the triton pick-up process give fairly good agreement with the data for alpha /sub 0/ , but not for alpha /sub 1/. These results are compared to plane wave calculations. The possibility of interpreting the data in terms of exchange processes is also discussed, as well as the applicability of the DWBA calculation to this reaction. (auth)
