Giant E1 resonance in /sup 1/6O observed with the reaction /sup 1/5N(p,. gamma. /sub 0/)/sup 1/6O

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
The giant electric dipole resonance based on the ground state (O/sup +/) of /sup 1/6O has been studied with the reaction /sup 1/5N(p, ..gamma../sub 0/)/sup 1/6O from E/sub p/ = 8.6 to 18.0 MeV (E/sub ..gamma../ = 20.2 to 29.0 MeV). The E1 strength in (..gamma.., p/sub 0/) is concentrated between E/sub ..gamma../ = 20 and 29 MeV where it exhausts about 15% of the E1 sum rule. Major peaks are displayed at 22.2 and 25.0 MeV and secondary structure at 21.0, 22.9, and in the 24 MeV region. The angular distributions indicate predominantly dipole radiation and are fairly constant over the entire range, except in the region of the secondary peaks where the coefficient of P/sub 2/(costheta) displays striking interference effects. This behavior supports the suggestion that these structures are due to interference between more complex states and the simple particle-hole configurations of the E1 resonance. The value of the coefficient of P/sub 2/(costheta) can be used to restrict greatly the allowed configurations of the p/sub 0/ channel: the solution is predominantly either d/sub 3/2/ wave or s/sub 1/2/ wave. The presence of terms in p/sub 1/(costheta) indicates significant E2 strength which increases above the E1 resonance. Data are also presented on the reactions /sup 1/5N(p, ..gamma../sub 1/-..gamma../sub 4/)/sup 1/6O and /sup 1/5Np,..cap alpha gamma../sub 15.1/)/sup 1/2C.
