Po. Soderman et al., NEUTRON DECAY OF DEEP-HOLE STATES POPULATED BY THE PB-208(HE-3,ALPHA)PB-207 REACTION AT 102-MEV, Nuclear physics. A, 576(2), 1994, pp. 215-245
Neutron decay of excited hole states populated by the Pb-208(He-3,alph
a) reaction at an energy of 102 MeV has been investigated. The alpha-p
articles were analysed in a magnetic spectrograph positioned at 1.4 de
grees and detected with a multi-wire drift chamber. Excitation energie
s in Pb-207 up to 25 MeV were studied. An array of neutron detectors w
as positioned around the target at angles ranging from 68 degrees to 2
09 degrees. The neutron data were analysed in terms of decay into fina
l states, using statistical-model calculations as a tool to extract no
n-statistical decay.
