ROTATIONAL BANDS IN 'B

摘要

Differential cross-sections of the "B + a inelastic scattering at E(a) = 65 leading to the most of the known ~(11)B states at the excitation energies up to 14 MeV were measured. The data analysis was done by DWBA and in some cases by the modified diffraction model allowing determining the radii of the excited states. The radii of the states with excitation energies less than ~ 7 MeV with the accuracy not less than 0.1-0.15 fm coincide with the radius of the ground state. This result is consistent with the traditional view of the shell structure of the low-lying states in "B. Most of the observed high-energy excited states are distributed among four rotational bands. The moments of inertia of band states are close to the moment of inertia of the Hoyle state of ~(12)C. The calculated radii, related to these bands, are 0.7 -1.0 fm larger than the radius of the ground state, and are close to the radius of the Hoyle state. These results are in agreement with existing predictions about various cluster structure of ~(11)B at high excitation energies. The state with the excitation energy 12.56 MeV, I~π = 1/2~+, T= 1/2 and the root mean square radius R ~ 6 fm predicted in the frame of the alpha condensate hypothesis was not found. The observed level at 12.6 MeV really has T= 1/2, probably, I~π = 3/2~+and the radius close to that of the ground state.
