Abstract: (Elsevier)
Threshold effects in the cross section of nuclear reactions are investigated in the continuum shell model using the 15 N + n and 16 O + γ reactions as examples. The level density near particle emission thresholds is almost not enlarged as a threshold effect. Thresholds for particle emission have also almost no influence on the correlation of the resonance levels via the continuum or on their decoupling. The function Γ ̃ R (E) influences the line shape of resonances. Threshold effects in the functions Γ ̃ R (E) may lead to a cusp in the cross section instead of a resonance.
