Alpha capture to the giant quadrupole resonance

Journal Article · · J. Phys., A (London), v. 7, no. 3, pp. L27-L31

ABS>Angular distributions have been measured for the reaction /sup 28/ Si( alpha , gamma /sub o/)/sup 32/S in the energy range E/sub x/ = 12 to 18 MeV; and the cross sections for exciting 1/sup -/ and 2 states, deduced. These data together with similar data for /sup 28/Si and /sup 40/Ca are compared to calculations made using Hauser-Feshbach theory. It is shown that the ( alpha , gamma ) reaction most probably excites the giant quadrupole resonance. (auth)
