Separation of direct and compound nuclear contributions in inelastic α scattering
Abstract
A method for separating direct and compound nuclear reaction contributions to inelastic α scattering on spin 0 targets is proposed. It is based on the characteristic behavior of the parameters of the α-γ angular correlation function in a distorted-wave Born approximation and a Hauser-Feshbach model treatment. The method is applied to the reaction 28Si(α, α'γ). NUCLEAR REACTIONS 28Si (α, α'γ), Eα=10, 16.5 MeV. Measured differential cross sections and angular correlations. Determined direct and compound nuclear contributions.
