THE REACTION $sup 7$Li($alpha$$gamma$$)$$sup 11$B

Journal Article · · Phil. Mag.
The gamma rays following excitation by the Li/sup 7/( alpha , gamma )B/ sup 11/ reaction of levels in B/sup 11/ at 9.28, 9.19, and 8.93 Mev were studied with sodium iodide scintillation counters and a scintillation pair spectrometer. The decay schemes of these levels were elucidated and angular distributions of some of the gamma rays were measured. From these data, and a consideration of the reaction widths of the levels in B/sup 11/, assignments of spins and parities were made. In particular it was established that the characteristics of the 4.46 Mev and 9.28 Mev levels in B/sup 11/ are -5/2 and +5/2 respectively, and that the M1 radiation from the 4.46 Mev level is mixed with a small proportion of E2 radiation.
