Angular distribution of coherent bremsstrahlung
The angular distribution of the linearly polarised photon beam produced by coherent bremsstrahlung from an aligned diamond radiator has been measured at the MAMI A2 tagged photon facility. The measurements were made with a prototype position sensitive photon detector which utilises the pair production process and a double sided silicon strip detector. This polarised photon beam is used for nuclear and hadronic experiments and in their analysis the polarisation is obtained from a calculation, which matches the experimental intensity spectrum. As the polarisation is related to the photon beam angular distribution, the present measurements can be used to test this calculation. The overall agre…
Experimental study of the halo nucleusHe6using theLi6(γ,π+)He6reaction
The reaction $^{6}\mathrm{Li}$($\ensuremath{\gamma},{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+})$$^{6}\mathrm{He}$ was studied over the angular range ${\ensuremath{\theta}}_{\ensuremath{\pi}}=40$--150$\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}$ with the aim of investigating the halo structure of $^{6}\mathrm{He}$. Photons from a bremsstrahlung beam were tagged in the energy range ${E}_{\ensuremath{\gamma}}=170$--220 MeV at a resolution of $\ensuremath{\Delta}{E}_{\ensuremath{\gamma}}=630$ keV, and positively charged pions detected using high resolution stacked HpGe detectors. The measured angular distributions for the resolved $^{6}\mathrm{He}$ ground and 1.80 MeV excited states are compared to previous measurements a…
