Abstract: (APS)
γ-ray spectra from the radiative capture of He3 particles by tritons have been obtained over the energy range 0.5≤E(He3)≤11.0 MeV. Strong transitions were seen to the ground and first two excited states of Li6; excitation curves and angular distributions are presented. The integrated cross section for the inverse reaction Li6(γ0, t)He3 up to Eγ=25 MeV is found to be 9.3±1.4 MeV mb. Evidence is also found for a transition to the second T=1 state of Li6. The results are discussed in the framework of the direct-capture model. Substantial T+He3 clustering is evident in the four observed Li6 final states.
