Summary

Differential excitation functions and angular distributions from 30° to 150° have been measured for the27Al(d, α)26Mg and27Al(d, p)28Al reactions leading to the ground state and to the first excited states of the residual nuclei25Mg and28Al, in the deuteron energy range (1.4≪2.3) MeV. The overall energy resolution was 10 keV for the differential excitation functions and 2 0 keV for the angular distributions. Fluctuations occurring in the differential excitation functions as well as in the integrated cross-sections have been analysed on the basis of the statistical theory. In particular, with the use of correlation functions, values of Γ=(40±10)keV and θ0≃30° have been deduced for the « coherence » energy and the « coherence » angle, respectively. The theoretical values of Γ and the average values of the integrated cross-sections have been evaluated using a consistent set of parameters. The analysis showed that the predictions of the statistical model agree with the experimental results for the27Al(d, α)25Mg reactions. Both statistical and nonstatistioal effects have been found to contribute to the27Al(d, p)28Al reaction for the proton transitions leading to the low-lying levels of the residual nucleus.

Riassunto

Si sono misurate le funzioni di eccitazione differenziali e le distribuzioni angolari, da 30° a 150°, delle reazioni27Al(d, α)25Mg e27Al(d, p)28Al che portano al livello fondamentale ed ai primi stati eccitati dei nuclei residui25Mg e28Al. L’energia dei deutoni incidenti variava da 1.4 a 2.3 MeV. La risoluzione energetica del fascio di deutoni incidenti era di 10 keV nel oaso delle funzioni di eccitazione differenziali e 20 keV nel caso delle distribuzioni angolari. Si sono analizzate le fluttuazioni esistenti nelle funzioni di eccitazione differenziali, e nelle sezioni di urto integrali sulla base del modello statistico delle reazioni nucleari. In particolare, un’analisi dei dati sperimentali per mezzo delle funzioni di correlazione ha fornito il valore Γ= (40±10) keV per « l’energia di coerenza » e θ0 ≃ 30° per « l’angolo di coerenza ». Si è calcolato il valore teorico di Γ e della sezione d’urto integrata media (al variare dell’energia dei deutoni incidenti) per ciascuna delle reazioni considerate, utilizzando gli stessi parametri statistici. Questa analisi ha mostrato che la reazione27Al(d, α)25Mg è ben descritta dal modello statistico. Alla reazione27Al(d, p)28Al sembrano contribuire effetti sia statistici che non statistici.
