Neutron decay of the giant quadrupole resonance region in /sup 208/Pb

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

The n decay of the giant resonance region between 8.5 and 12.5 MeV in /sup 208/Pb has been studied in an (..cap alpha..,..cap alpha..'n) coincidence experiment at E/sub x/ = 104 MeV. The energy resolution was sufficient to observe the decay into the different states of /sup 207/Pb separately. The strong population of the 13/2/sup +/ state shows that large contributions of the total strength excited in the giant quadrupole resonance region have multipolarities> or =4. The ..cap alpha.. spectra coincident to the decay neutrons show fine structures in the giant quadrupole resonance region of /sup 208/Pb.
