C. Lee et al., ALPHA-PARTICLE DECAY OF STATES IN C-11, C-13 AND N-15 NEAR DECAY THRESHOLD, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 58(2), 1998, pp. 1005-1012
alpha-particle decays from several excited states in C-11, C-13, and N
-15 have been observed in three-body final state reactions induced by
heavy-ion beams at 6.5-9.0 MeV/nucleon from the FSU Tandem/LINAC. Wher
e possible, branching fraction estimates are made. Improvements in the
energy resolution of the detection system have allowed the observatio
n of many previously unreported alpha-particle decays, several new tot
al energy width determinations, and a few new excited state energies.
