Isospin violation in the /sup 12/C(/sup 6/Li,. cap alpha. )/sup 14/N(2. 31 MeV) reaction

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
The isospin violating reaction /sup 12/C(/sup 6/Li,..cap alpha..)/sup 14/N(2.31 MeV) was investigated in the range of beam energies from 9.0 to 14.0 MeV. Excitation functions were measured for the ground state, 2.31-MeV state and 3.95-MeV state of /sup 14/N at 15/sup 0/, 20/sup 0/, 60/sup 0/, and 160/sup 0/. Excitation functions were taken at 40/sup 0/ for the ground state and 3.95-MeV states. Angular distributions were obtained at 10.5-, 11.25-, 12.5-, 13.75-, and 20.0-MeV beam energies. The cross section for the isospin forbidden reaction to the 2.31-MeV state is 0.4 to 1.8% of that to the allowed ground state and 3.95-MeV state in the beam energy range 9 to 14 MeV. At 20.0 MeV the ground state and 3.95-MeV state in the beam energy range 9 to 14 MeV. At 20.0 MeV the yield to the forbidden state is only 0.02% of the allowed yield. Isospin mixing by the Coulomb force is believed responsible for the forbidden yield observed between 9 - 14 MeV.
