Abstract
A description is given of a 1 MV, electrostatic generator and ancillary equipment which has been used to study the asymmetry in the angular distribution of α-particles from the Li7 (p, α) He4 reaction. The angular distribution of the a-particles is given by the expression Y(θ) =Y(90°)[1 +A(E) cos2θ + B(E)cos4 θ] where A(E) and B(E) are functions of the proton energy. The form of the expression implies the existence of both p and f protons in the nuclear reaction.https://doi.org/10.1071/CH9490025
