Abstract
The reaction N-13 + B-11 has been investigated at two 13N beam energies: 29.5 and 45 MeV, Charged particles and gamma rays emitted in the reactions have been detected using a large array of silicon strip detectors and BaF2 scintillators, respectively. Several reaction channels have been analysed with different aims. The proton transfer reaction B-11(N-13, C-12)C-12 to various excited states of C-12 has been studied to obtain information on the N-13(g.s.) structure. The excitation energy of the Mg-24 compound nucleus was in the region where several resonances occur in the C-12 + C-12 system. The six-alpha decay of the Mg-24 intermediate system has been studied. Some of these events have been identified as coming from the break-up of two C-12* in the 3(1)(-)-3(1)(-) and 3(1)(-)-0(2)(+) states. The total fusion cross section has also been extracted from the data. In order to extract information on the isospin purity/mixing in Mg-24 at high excitation energy (E-x similar to 47 MeV), the GDR gamma emission from this self-conjugate nucleus has been studied. A comparison of gamma spectra has been undertaken for the reactions N-13 + B-11 and N-14 + B-10. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V, Ail rights reserved.
