Abstract
The low lying energy levels of Be 9 and B 9 have been investigated by means of magnetic analysis of the Be 9 (p, p')Be 9 and B 10 (He 3, α)B 9 reactions, respectively. Several distinctive features of the data result in a model being proposed to describe the low lying energy level structure of these mirror nuclei. The model describes the mass nine nuclei as two-body cluster states of Be 8(0 +)+ nucleon and Be 8(2 +)+nucleon and gives quantitative agreement with the experimental width of the states. A generalized density of states function is employed to describe the continuum spectra, and allows a description of the cusp effects in the spectra of the two nuclei as aspects of two-body cluster spatial localization, and many-body decay occuring as a sequence of two-body separations.
