The $^{28}$Si(p,t)$^{26}$Si Reaction and Implications for $^{25}$Al(p,$\gamma$)$^{26}$Si
ORAL
Abstract
We have studied several resonances in $^{25}$Al(p,$\gamma$)$^{26}$Si via the $^{28}$Si(p,t)$^{26}$Si reaction at HRIBF. In addition to measuring angular distributions of the tritons, an additional silicon detector array was used to measure the coincident protons emitted from the decay of states in $^{26}$Si above the proton threshold. We confirm experimentally that the 3$^+$ 5914 keV resonance, the first $\ell$ = 0 state above the proton threshold, does in fact decay essentially 100\% of the time via proton emission, resulting in a proton branching ratio consistent with one.
