Evidence for the ground state of neutron-unbound nucleus 26O was observed first time in single proton-knockout reaction from a 82 MeV/u 27F beam. Neutrons were measured coincidence with 24O fragments. determined to be unbound by 150+50-150 keV observation low-energy neutrons. This result agrees recent shell model calculations based on microscopic two- and three-nucleon forces.
Cross sections have been measured for the emission of protons, deuterons, and alpha particles 15-MeV neutrons on $^{54,56}\mathrm{Fe}$, $^{58,60}\mathrm{Ni}$, $^{50,52}\mathrm{Cr}$, $^{63,65}\mathrm{Cu}$, as well natural iron, nickel, chromium. A quadrupole spectrometer served to detect with energies low 1 MeV. For some targets, a substantial fraction charged-particle spectrum is at below Coulomb barrier. spectra are compared statistical pre-equilibrium model predictions.NUCLEAR REACTIONS...
Using pulsed-beam neutron time-of-flight spectrometry relative differential cross sections for $^{7}\mathrm{Li}(p,{n}_{0})^{7}\mathrm{Be}$(g.s.) and $^{7}\mathrm{Li}(p,{n}_{1})^{7}\mathrm{Be}^{*}$ (0.431 MeV) have been measured over the laboratory angular range 3.5\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} to 159\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} from an incident bombarding energy of 4.2 26 MeV. These integrated angle at 5 MeV resulting integral was normalized absolute measurement Macklin Gibbons...
A recent study of nuclear level densities for $20<~A<~70$ found evidence that the nuclei off stability line were lower than those nearby on line. This analysis has been extended to cover mass range $20<~A<~110$ with results support original conclusions. As part study, variations energy and number parity ratio spin cutoff parameter are examined.
Neutron spectra produced by ($p,n$) reactions on $^{48}\mathrm{Ti}$, $^{49}\mathrm{Ti}$, $^{55}\mathrm{Mn}$, $^{58}\mathrm{Fe}$, and $^{63}\mathrm{Cu}$ ($\ensuremath{\alpha},n$) $^{45}\mathrm{Sc}$, $^{51}\mathrm{V}$, $^{52}\mathrm{Cr}$, $^{59}\mathrm{Co}$, $^{60}\mathrm{Ni}$ have been measured at four bombarding energies.

The thick-target neutron energy spectra of the 9Be(p,n) reaction were measured at several angles for proton-bombarding energies 3.0, 3.4, 3.7, 4.0, and 5.0 MeV. Time-of-flight techniques used to determine discriminate against background radiation. By using lithium-loaded glass scintillators low proton pulse rate frequency, have been determined as 70 keV. detectors calibrated efficiency spectrum Al(d,n) reaction, which was accurately fission chamber detectors.
Cross sections for the ($n,xp$), ($n,d$), and ($n,x\ensuremath{\alpha}$) reactions 15-MeV neutrons on $^{51}\mathrm{V}$ $^{93}\mathrm{Nb}$ have been measured with a magnetic quadrupole spectrometer. The importance of ($n,{n}^{\ensuremath{'}}p$) reaction as source protons is examined by comparing these results those recently obtained $^{46}\mathrm{Ti}$. Good fits to ($n,xp$) energy spectra require contributions from both equilibrium nonequilibrium reactions, while only latter appear in...
Cross Sections for (n,xp), (n,xd), and (n,xα) reactions induced by 15-MeV neutrons on 27Al, 46Ti, 48Ti have been measured with a quadrupole spectrometer. Particles energies as low 800 keV were detected. Large sub-Coulomb-barrier peaks are found in the proton spectra from 27Al but not 48Ti; alpha-particle deuteron do show such peak. The presence or absence of peak is to be related importance (n,n’p) reaction given isotope. Enhancement total proton-pro-duction cross section almost factor 2 through 46Ti
The Hauser-Feshbach formalism is generalized to include isospin. Examination of the consequences this extension for typical nuclei indicates that significant enhancement in cross section emission protons proton-induced reactions predicted. Level widths and densities deduced from fluctuation measurements are also affected. results some interpreted terms isospin effects; new experiments proposed which should yield information on mixing level states with differing
The first measurements of the transferred polarization for exclusive e-->p-->e(')K+Lambda--> reaction have been performed at Jefferson Laboratory using CLAS spectrometer.

Comparison with predictions hadrodynamic models indicates strong sensitivity underlying resonance contributions. nonrelativistic quark-model interpretation our data suggests that ssmacr;...
