Abstract

The total and the differential cross sections for the 6Li(p, p″) 6Li ∗∗ (3.562 MeV) reaction were measured over a range of incident proton lab energies between 4.26 and 9.40 MeV. The total cross section for the 4He( 3He, p″) 6Li ∗∗ reaction was measured over a range of incident 3He lab energies between 13.81 and 18.45 MeV. The analysis indicates the presence of two interfering states, both with Jπ = 3 2 − , located at about 10.0 and 11.0 MeV excitation energy in 7Be. The widths are 1.8 and 0.4 MeV, and isospins are T = 1 2 and T = 3 2 , respectively. Values for the reduced widths of the isospin allowed channels of the T = 3 2 state have been extracted, and the Thomas-Ehrman shift with respect to the corresponding 7Li state estimated. The existence of an extremely broad Jπ = 1 2 − state at roughly 10 MeV or greater 7Be excitation energy is suggested. Measurements were made to determine the correct normalization of several sets of data on eight 7Be-forming reactions.
