Comparison of reaction theories for multilevel interference—the 14C + p reactions
Abstract
A comparison is made between the R-matrix and S-matrix theories of low-energy compound nucleus resonances for the particular case of two-level interference. The (p,γ) and (p,n) cross sections of 14C for proton energies between 0.7 and 1.5 MeV are analyzed using both theories. The 15N compound nucleus in this region exhibits strong two-level interference. The two theories provide equally good fits to the data, but the parameters describing the compound-nucleus levels are quite different. A general analytic method of relating the two sets of parameters is derived and shown to give good agreement with the results obtained by curve-fitting procedures. Remarks are made concerning the general behavior of the parameters under strong interference conditions and also on the inclusion of many channels into the analysis.
