The Proton Gamma Angular Correlations in the²⁸Si(d,p )²⁹Si Stripping Reaction

The angular correlation between the protons and γ-rays from the reaction 28 Si(d,pγ) 29 Si has been measured. Protons were selected which correspond to the excitation of the 1.28 MeV level in 29 Si, the proton counter being set on the maximum of the stripping angular distribution at 30° to the deuteron beam direction. The angular correlation in the plane of scattering was found to be in agreement with the simple stripping hypothesis, but measurements in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the absorbed neutron, which according to the simple theory is an axis of symmetry, showed significant anisotropy.
