GENERAL: See 3 [Electromagnetic Transitions in A = 18-19] (in PDF or PS), 18.35 [General Table] (in PDF or PS) and 18.36 [Table of Energy Levels] (in PDF or PS).

For B(E2) of ¹⁸Ne*(1.89) and other parameters see (1987RA01) and 2 in the Introduction.

1. 18Ne(β+)18F

Qm = 4.446

The half-life of ¹⁸Ne is 1672 ± 8 ms: see (1978AJ03) and (1983AD03). The decay is primarily to ¹⁸F*(0, 1.04, 1.70 MeV). In addition there is an extremely weak branch [(2.07 ± 0.28) × 10^-3%] to ¹⁸F* (1.08 MeV) [J^π = 0^-; T = 0] (1983AD03): see 18.33 (in PDF or PS) for the parameters of the decay. The parity mixing in the ¹⁸F*(1.04, 1.08) 0⁺ - 0^- doublet has been studied by (1983AD03). It has been proposed as a probe of T-odd nuclear forces (1992HE12). See also (1982HE04). For the earlier work see (1983AJ01, 1987AJ02).

2. 12C(12C, 6He)18Ne

Qm = -22.913

This reaction was studied at ⁶He angles from 0° to 10° with a magnetic spectrometer (1992HAZZ). New levels at E_x > 6 MeV, including ¹⁸Ne*(6.15, 7.35 MeV), were found. Astrophysical implications are discussed.

3. 14O(α, γ)18Ne

Qm = 5.112

The thermonuclear reaction rates for this reaction have been estimated (1987WI11) using information from the isobaric analog ¹⁸O. A new ¹⁸Ne level at E_x = 6.15 MeV (see ¹⁶O(³He, n)) has been observed (1990GAZW) which may play a role in ¹⁴O + α burning. See also (1988CA26).

4. 14O(α, p)17F

Qm = 1.190

This reaction is considered important in the generation of Z ≥ 10 nuclei from products in the hot CNO cycle. Microscopic multichannel calculations for this reaction are discussed in (1988FU02, 1989FU01).

5. 16O(3He, n)18Ne

Qm = -3.196

See 18.38 (in PDF or PS). See also (1983AJ01).

Recent work reported in (1991GA03) found that the 3⁺ level in ¹⁸Ne predicted by (1988WI08) occurs at E_x = 4.561 ± 0.009 MeV. Astrophysical consequences are discussed. New levels in ¹⁸Ne at E_x ≥ 6 MeV observed in ¹⁶O(³He, n) were reported in (1990GAZW). [See discussion under ¹⁴O(α, γ)¹⁸Ne.] See also (1989GAZW, 1990GAZR). For applied work related to this reaction see (1991GU05, 1992DI04).

6. 16O(α, nn)18Ne

Qm = -23.773

See (1991GU05) for measurements at E_α = 40 MeV.

7. 16O(10B, 8Li)18Ne

Qm = -18.951

At E(¹⁰B) = 100 MeV, the angular distribution to ¹⁸Ne*(3.38) [(d_5/2)²_4⁺ state], which is preferentially populated, has been studied. ¹⁸Ne*(1.89) is also observed (see (1983AJ01)). See also (1983OS07).

8. 16O(12C, 10Be)18Ne

Qm = -22.663

Measurements at E(¹²C) = 480 MeV are reported in (1988KR11, 1988ME10). The 4⁺ level at E_x = 3.38 MeV is observed.

9. 18O(π+, π-)18Ne

Qm = -6.101

Angular distributions have been studied at E(π⁺) = 164 and 292 MeV [see (1983AJ01)] and at 48.3 MeV (1985AL15; to ¹⁸Ne_g.s.) and 100 to 292 MeV (1985SE08; to ¹⁸Ne_g.s.). The excitation functions for production of ¹⁸Ne*(0, 1.89) have been measured for E(π⁺) = 80 to 292 MeV: see (1983AJ01, 1985SE08). See also (1987AJ02).

The behavior of double charge exchange (DCX) cross sections at low energies (50 ± 30 MeV) was reviewed in (1987PA1H, 1988SE1A, 1989BA1R). See also the review of (1989ST1H). Measurements at energies of 300 - 500 MeV above the Δ(1232) resonance were reported in (1989WI02). More recently a search for an η bound state in this reaction is described in (1992JOZZ, 1993JO03).

The contribution of the two-nucleon pion absorption emission mechanism is discussed in (1990CH14). See also (1989CH1O, 1990CH1U) and see (1989YU1A). A quark-antiquark annihilation mechanism is proposed in (1989CH21). A two-amplitude model for the DCX energy dependence is described in (1989FO02). In other recent work, the contribution of sequential charge exchange and δ-nucleon charge exchange is examined in (1993GI03). Absorption contributions near T_π = 50 MeV are evaluated by (1992OS05). High energy DCX and isovector renormalization is calculated and compared with data in (1993OS01). See also (1992MA46) for a discussion of dibaryon effects.

10. 20Ne(p, t)18Ne

Qm = -20.022

Observed triton groups are displayed in 18.38 (in PDF or PS) as are J^π derived from DWBA analysis of angular distributions: The 0⁺₃ state, identified at E_x = 4.59 MeV, appears to have a largely s²_1/2 configuration based on its large downward shift with respect to the analog state in ¹⁸O (1981NE09).

11. 20Ne(3He, nα)18Ne

Qm = -7.926

See (1991GU05).
