Improved parametrization of inclusive proton spectra from 3H(α,p)6He reaction using data obtained in a correlation experiment

Abstract

The new analysis of inclusive proton spectra from 3H(α,p)6He reaction was performed. The existence of two new excited levels of 6He with energy parameters E2ex.s.*= 2.4 MeV, Γ = 0.4 MeV; E3ex.s.*= 3.0 MeV, Γ = 0.6 MeV was confirmed as a result of new parameterization performed using energy parameters obtained from the correlation kinematic-incomplete experimental study of 3H(α,pα)nn reactions at Eα = 27.2 MeV and Eα = 67.2 MeV in contrast to the initial analysis, in which the resonance observed above the known first excited 6He level E1ex.s. = 1.8 MeV was treated as the second broad excited level E2ex.s. = 2.98 (0.17) MeV, Γ2ex.s. = 2.39 (0.27) MeV.
