Abstract

Excitation functions, isomer ratios and average recoil ranges have been determined for the 134Ba(α, n) reaction over the energy range from 15 to 28 MeV. The average ranges are compared with values predicted by Lindhard, Scharff and Schiøtt on the assumption of compound nucleus formation and the experimental isomer ratios and excitation functions with the results of a spin-dependent statistical model calculation. These comparisons suggest that both compound nuclear and direct processes contribute in the above energy range.
