Angular distributions in the reaction4He(γ),p 3H

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

The angular distribution of over 3500 protons from the reaction4He(γ, p)3H has been measured in the photon energy range 23 MeV to 32 MeV, using the photographic plate method. The distribution is well described in the cm. system by an expression of the formf(Φ) =B(1 +C cos Φ+D cos2 Φ) sin2 Φ, with the value of C approximately equal to 0.5, and showing little appreciable variation with energy. The value ofD is not very critical, even at the highest energies, and no constant term is necessary inf(Φ).

Riassunto

Si sono misurate le distribuzioni angolari di più di 3 500 protoni della reazione4He(γ, p)3H nel campo di energie fotoniche da 23 MeV a 32 MeV, usando il metodo delle lastre fotografiche. La distribuzione è ben descritta nel sistema del centro di massa da un‘espressione della formaf(Φ)=B(1+C cos Φ+D cos2 Φ) sin2 Φ, eon un valore di C approssimativamente uguale a 0.5, e che ha una variazione con l‘energia poco apprezzabile. Il valore diD non è molto critico, anche alle energie più elevate, e nessun termine costante è necessario inf(Φ).
