T. Kajihara et al., THE (P,ALPHA) REACTION .1. THE LEFT-RIGHT ASYMMETRY, THE J-DEPENDENCEAND THE CROSS-SECTION MAGNITUDE, Nuclear physics. A, 568(3), 1994, pp. 499-522
The universal phase relations existing in the (p, alpha) left-right ay
mmetry are summarized. The features are found to be useful to interpre
t the j-dependence of the cross-section angular distributions. The the
oretical (p, alpha) cross section has been a subject of long discussio
n since some of them are 100 or 1000 times smaller compared with the m
easurements. Recently a reasonable order of the calculated cross secti
on was reported but no detail of the theoretical analysis. We review t
he situations and report our first result for a systematic study of th
e (p, alpha) reaction mechanisms.
