Non-resonant radiation from N14(p,γ)015

Abstract

The work described in this thesis is concerned with an investigation of non-resonant radiation from the N14(p,Y)015 reaction. These results, together with a theoretical model, have been used to extrapolated the reaction cross-section to stellar energies. The investigation was undertaken jointly by the author and Dr. D.F. Hebbard who was responsible for suggesting the project. The work has been carried out entirely in the Department of Nuclear Physics at the Australian National University and covers the period September 1960 to May 1963. The author claims to have taken an active part in all aspects of the investigation reported. (First two paragraphs of preface.) Show more
