Proton and deuteron radiative capture in light nuclei

Description

Differential capture View the MathML source and View the MathML source cross sections have been measured at excitation energies between 17 and 41 MeV in 17F and 26 and 39 MeV in 17O at several angles in the 35°–135° interval. The (p, γo) data show, besides a direct capture term, the excitation of giant dipole resonances based on excited states having a probable 2p-1h structure. The main features of the deuteron capture cross section can be understood in terms of a semidirect mechanism with the two nucleons captured in the same single-particle configuration.
