Abstract
The differential elastic scattering cross section has been measured for the scattering of He3 from He4 and the scattering of He4 from tritium for bombarding energies of 5 to 18 and 4 to 18 MeV, respectively. Data were also obtained for the reactions He4(He3,p)Li6, He4(He3,p′)Li6*, H3(α,n)Li6, and H3(α,n′)Li6*. Levels are seen at 4.65, 6.64, 7.47, and 9.7 MeV in Li7, and at 4.57, 6.73, 7.21, and 9.3 MeV in Be7. A phase-shift analysis suggests assignments of 7/2- and 5/2- for the two lower levels in Li7, confirms the 5/2- assignment of the 7.47 level, and suggests a 7/2- assignment for the new level at 9.7 MeV. Similarly in Be7, the assignments of 7/2- and 5/2- for the lower two levels are confirmed, and an assignment of 7/2- is suggested for the new level at 9.3 MeV. The reduced widths for α and nucleon emission were determined by fitting the phase shifts near each level with a single- and/or double-level formula from the R-matrix formalism of Lane and Thomas. The results of the analysis are discussed and compared with predictions of recent nuclear-model calculations.
