The yields, branching ratios and angular distributions of 6–7 MeV photons produced in the 19F(p,αγ)16O reaction

The yields and branching ratios of 6.13, 6.92 and 7.12 MeV photons produced in the 19F(p,áγ)16O reaction were measured for incident proton energies between 340.46 and 3490 keV. The experimental data were recorded and analysed to show photon features. The branching ratios of 6.13, 6.92 and 7.12 MeV γ-rays are different for different incident proton energies. The maximum yield of 6–7 MeV γ-rays was found at Ep=2.63 MeV. The angular distributions for 6.13 and 7.12 MeV γ-rays in the Ep=340.46 keV resonance were also measured and show to be isotropic within experimental uncertainty.
