Use of the (t,p) reaction for in-beam spectroscopy studies (open access)

Use of the (t,p) reaction for in-beam spectroscopy studies

Triton induced reactions, such as the (t,p) reaction, can be used for in-beam gamma-ray and conversion-electron studies of nuclei that are somewhat neutron rich. We have developed systems for both conversion-electron and gamma-ray spectroscopy in coincidence with the outgoing energetic proton to identify the (t,p) reaction channel. Data from the /sup 142/Nd(t,p..gamma..) reaction illustrate several of the characteristics of this reaction for studying nuclear structure. Preliminary results from the study of /sup 96/Zr by conversion-electron spectroscopy, and /sup 240/U by gamma-ray spectroscopy, are reported. 4 refs., 4 figs.
