A Measurement of the Branching Ratio for the Gamma Transitions from the 4·235 MeV Level of 24Mg

Abstract

The branching ratio for the y-transitions from the 4·235 MeV level of 24Mg has been measured following a study of the 23Na(p, y) resonances at 1021 and 1416 keV bombarding energy. The result, which is considerably more accurate than those reported previously, is compared with the predictions of the rotational model and shell model calculations.
