Photoneutron Reactions in 18O

Publication: Canadian Journal of Physics
April 1975

Abstract

Photoneutron energy spectra from 18O have been measured by time-of-flight spectroscopy at bremsstrahlung endpoint energies from 11 to 18 MeV in 1 MeV steps to obtain the (γ, n0) and (γ, n1) differential cross sections. The ground state photoneutron cross section contains at least 8 major resonances in the region from 10 to 17 MeV and has an average value of 100 μb/sr. The cross section to the first excited state of 17O contains only two major resonances, at 11.4 and 14.4 MeV, and the average cross section in the region from 11 to 16 MeV is about 40 μb/sr. Of particular interest is a resonance at 14.4 MeV which appears to reflect a simple excitation of one of the valence neutrons to the 2p3/2 state. Analysis of the (γ, n0) and (γ, n1) cross sections for this continuum state leads to estimates of the configuration amplitudes of the 2s1/2 and 1d5/2 components of this state to be 0.62 ± 0.06 and 0.78 ± 0.08 respectively and the ratio of the (2s1/2)2 to (1d5/2)2 amplitudes in the ground state of 18O to be 0.39 ± 0.02.

Résumé

Les spectres de photoneutrons provenants de 18O ont été étudiés par spectroscopie de temps de vol pour des énergies maximum de radiation de freinage s'echelonnant entre 11 et 18 MeV par intervalles de 1 MeV dans le but d'obtenir les sections efficaces différentielles de (γ, n0) et (γ, n1). La section efficace qui correspond à l'état fondamental des photoneutrons comprend au moins huit résonances principales entre 10 et 17 MeV et a pour valeur moyenne 100 μb/sr. La section efficace du premier état excité de 17O ne comprend que deux résonances principales à 11.4 et 14.4 MeV, et la section efficace moyenne entre 11 et 16 MeV est d'environ 40 μb/sr. La résonance à 14.4 MeV, qui résulte apparemment d'une simple excitation d'un des neutrons de valence de l'état 2p3/2 présente un intérêt particulier. L'analyse des sections efficaces (γ, n0) et (γ, n1) du continuum nous a conduit à estimer les amplitudes de configuration des composantes 2s1/2 et 1d5/2 de cet état comme étant respectivement 0.62 ± 0.06 et 0.78 ± 0.08, et le rapport des amplitudes de (2s1/2)2 et de (1d5/2)2 dans l'état fondamental de 18O comme étant 0.39 ± 0.02.
