Spectroscopy of the 10Li nucleus -: art. no. 064322

In an attempt to clarify the situation regarding the low-lying structure of Li-10, a spectroscopic measurement of the structure of Li-10 with the Be-9(Be-9,B-8)Li-10 reaction at E(Be-9) =40.1(1) MeV/nucleon was performed using the S800 spectrograph at Michigan State University. The data are fit best with a single p-wave resonance at - S-n = 0.500(60) MeV with a width of Gamma = 400(60) keV. No higher lying states were observed and there is no evidence of a state at similar to 250 keV in the data. An excess strength at threshold was observed, but cannot be definitively attributed to a state. [S0556-2813(99)05211-5].
