Investigation of Four Resonances in the ReactionSi29(p, γ)P30

Abstract

Thin ${\mathrm{Si}}^{29}$ targets have been bombarded with protons from a Cockcroft-Walton generator in the energy region $E_p=0.2\mathrm{} \mathrm{to} 0.8$ Mev. The gamma radiation from the ${\mathrm{Si}}^{29}(p, \gamma ){\mathrm{P}}^{30}$ reaction has been investigated with a NaI scintillation spectrometer at the 326-, 414-, 693,- and 729-kev resonances. Pulse spectra taken at each resonance at angles of $\theta =0\mathrm{}$ and $\theta =90\mathrm{}$ degrees to the proton beam were analyzed with a 70-channel Hutchinson-Scarrott kicksorter. The decay of the resonance levels was further investigated by $\gamma -\gamma$ coincidence measurements.
