The angular distribution for the breakup of 8B-->7Be+p on a 58Ni target has been measured at an incident energy of 25.75 MeV. The data are inconsistent with first-order theories but are remarkably well described by calculations including higher-order effects. The comparison with theory illustrates the importance of the inclusion of the exotic proton halo structure of 8B in accounting for the data.
RECOIL RANGE.DISTRIBUTIONS 957Maxwelliam velocity distribution. 6 The reader should refer to Fig. 10 of their paper which compares these calculations to the collimated range data from this work. Qualitatively, the calculated and measured distributions are very similar. For a three-dimensional random walk of seven equal steps, the distribution is expected to be well represented by the Maxwellian function. 10 Thus we infer that most of the width of the spectrum of V arises from the threedimensional vector addition of velocities rather than 10 C. Hsiung, H. Hsiung, and A.The excitation energy of the first 2 + state in C 12 has been determined to be 4440.0±0.5 keV by means of the (p,p'y) reaction at 23 MeV incident proton energy, y rays were detected by a Ge(Li) detector in coincidence with inelastically scattered protons to reduce Doppler broadening. An anomaly in which a symmetrical doublet appeared in the 7-ray singles spectrum observed at 90° to the beam direction is explained on the basis of a coherent Doppler effect involving selective population of the magnetic sublevels of the 2 + state in the inelastic scattering process.
We have performed continuum-discretized coupled channels (CDCC) calculations of the breakup of 8 B on 58 Ni and direct proton transfer for the 8 B + 58 Ni system at laboratory energies of 20-28.4 MeV. The influence of the 7 Be core-target optical potential (OP) on the breakup cross section was investigated. Elastic scattering angular distributions for the 7 Be + 58 Ni and 8 B + 58 Ni systems at five different energies around the Coulomb barrier were studied, and a reasonable energy-independent OP for each system was obtained. Using these OPs and two different 7 Be-p relative motion wave functions, and summing breakup and direct proton transfer contributions, we were able to fit the experimental cross section at a 8 B laboratory energy of 25.75 MeV. We calculated the excitation function for the 7 Be emission in the 8 B + 58 Ni reaction, where 7 Be products were measured at the forward angle θ lab = 45 • in the energy interval E lab = 20-28.4 MeV. In view of the peripheral character of the 8 B breakup reaction at near-barrier energies, we could extract the asymptotic normalization coefficient for the 7 Be-p system, which was found to be C 2 Be-p,p 3/2 = 0.543 ± 0.027 fm −1 . Finally, the astrophysical S 17 (0) factor was found to be S 17 (0) = 20.8 ± 1.1 eV b.
Fusion excitation functions were obtained for 37 Clϩ 70,72,73,74,76 Ge at energies from about 6 MeV below to 7 MeV above the Coulomb barrier. The barrier parameters extracted from the data agree within 3% with those obtained from the systematics for fusion above the barrier. Low-energy enhancements are observed, whose behavior is explained within the context of simple model calculations by assigning appropriate degrees of freedom to the respective reaction partners. These degrees of freedom reflect the shape transition between spherical 70,72,73 Ge and prolate-deformed 74,76 Ge, and show also remarkable effects of the odd-A structure of 73 Ge. The results are consistent with those of similar analysis of different data sets where the same targets were used. The possible effects of double identical-phonon states for spherical nuclei, hexadecapole deformations for deformed ones, and nucleon transfer are also examined. An analysis of the barrier distributions is made, which indicates consistency with the assumed degrees of freedom.
