A Study of Nuclear Level Structure Using (3He, d) and (3He, p) Reactions

Abstract

A nuclear reaction is a process in which a change in the composition or energy or both of a target nucleus is brought about by the bombardment with a projectile or gamma-ray. Generally, two types of information can be obtained from the study of nuclear reactions: (1) information about the nuclear matter, and (2) information about the special properties such as angular momentum, parity, magnetic moment, etc. of a particular nuclear state formed by the given reaction.
