1. 3H(α, γ)7Li

Qm = 2.4681

Excitation functions and angular distributions have been studied for E_α = 0.5 to 1.9 MeV. The cross section rises smoothly as expected for a direct-capture process: see (1966LA04). For calculations of the low-energy S-factor see (1981WI04). See also (1979YA1C; astrophysics).

2. 3H(α, n)6Li

Qm = 4.7820

Eb = 2.4681

The cross section for this reaction has been measured for E_α = 11 to 18 MeV: the data show the effect of ⁷Li*(7.46) and indicate a broad resonance near E_α = 16.8 MeV [⁷Li*(9.6)]. The level parameters derived from this reaction and from reaction 3 are displayed in Table 7.3 (in PDF or PS). The yield of ⁶Li ions at 0° (lab) has also been measured for E_α = 11.310 to 11.930 MeV with 2 - 3% accuracy: the data were then reduced to obtain the cm differential cross sections at 0° and 180° for the inverse reaction in the energy region corresponding to formation of ⁷Li*(7.46) (1977BR21). See also (1977KN1A).

3. 3H(α, α)3H

Eb = 2.4681

The excitation curves for the elastic scattering show the effects of ⁷Li*(4.63, 6.68, 7.46, 9.67). The derived level parameters are displayed in Table 7.3 (in PDF or PS). Angular distributions have been studied for E_α = 2.13 to 2.98 MeV [see (1979AJ01)] and E_{pol. t} = 6.0 to 17 MeV (1977BR21, 1980JAZL, 1981JA1G; very accurate σ(θ)). Analyzing power measurements are reported for E_{pol. t} = 6.0 to 17 MeV (1976HA17, 1980JAZL, 1981JA1G): a polarization extremum (A_y = -1) occurs near E_t = 11.1 MeV, θ_c.m. = 95°. There is some suggestion for a J^π = 1/2^- state in ⁷Li at E_x = 9.6 MeV (1981JA1G; N. Jarmie, private communication): see also reaction 7. The breakup of ⁷Li [at kinematic energy of 70 MeV] into α + t proceeds sequentially via ⁷Li*(4.63) when ¹²C is bombarded. When ²⁰⁸Pb is hit by ⁷Li, both this sequential process and breakup in the nuclear field of the ²⁰⁸Pb nucleus appear to occur (1981SH01). See also (1977KN1A, 1978BR1A) and (1977HA1E, 1978MI13, 1978TA1A, 1978TH1A, 1979LE1B, 1979WI1B, 1981AO02, 1981BE01, 1981FR1N, 1982FU01, 1982KA11, 1983AO03; theor.).

4. 4He(α, p)7Li

Qm = -17.3459

Angular distributions have been reported at E_α = 39.9 to 49.5 MeV (p₀, p₁) and 60.2, 92.4 and 140.0 MeV (p₀₊₁) [see (1979AJ01)] and at E_α = 37.5 to 43.0 MeV (1982SL01; p₀, p₁). See also (1978GL03, 1979AL34), (1982RA1M; astrophys.) and ⁸Be.

5. 4He(3He, π+)7Li

Qm = -137.118

At E(³He) = 266.5 and 280.5 MeV, ⁷Li*(0 + 0.48, 4.63) are populated (1982BI06). See also (1982GE1C, 1982LE1L) and (1982KL1B; theor.).

6. 6Li(n, γ)7Li

Qm = 7.2501

The thermal capture cross section is 38.5 ± 3.0 mb (1981MUZQ). Gamma rays are observed corresponding to transitions to ⁷Li*(0, 0.48) with branching ratios of (61 ± 3) and (39 ± 2)%. ⁷Li*(4.63) is not involved in the decay [≲ 2%]: see (1979AJ01). See also (1980BA34; theor.).

7. 6Li(n, n)6Li

Eb = 7.2501

The scattering amplitude (bound) a = 2.2 ± 0.25i fm, σ_free = 0.45 ± 0.08 b. The thermal scattering cross section = 0.75 ± 0.02 b (1981MUZQ). The total cross section has been measured from E_n = 4 eV to 49.6 MeV [see (1976GAYV)]. Recent measurements include those of (1982SM02: E_n = 0.1 to 0.8 MeV) and (1979KEZU, 1979LAZP; E_n = 2.99 to 49.64 MeV) and the integrated cross sections of (1979KN01; n₀; 4.1 to 7.5 MeV) and (1979HO11; n₀ and n₁; 7.47 to 13.94 MeV). A pronounced resonance occurs at E_n = 244.5 ± 1.0 keV with a peak cross section of 11.2 ± 0.2 b (1982SM02): see Table 7.4 (in PDF or PS) [E_x = 7459.7 ± 1.2 keV]. No other clearly defined resonance is observed to E_n = 49.6 MeV although the total cross section exhibits a broad maximum at E_n ≈ 4.5 MeV J.A. Harvey and N.W. Hill, private communication). The analyzing power has been measured for E_{pol. n} = 1.48 to 4.38 MeV (1982DR06) and at 2 to 5 MeV (1975HO01, 1981CH12). An R-matrix analysis of the latter results as well as σ_t, σ(θ) and (n, α) results leads to a set of parameters for ⁷Li states. These include a bound 1/2⁺ and an unbound 3/2⁺ state (at 9.38 ± 0.03 MeV) [neither reported in other reactions] as well as the 5/2^- state at 7.46 MeV [Γ_α = 33 ± 1 keV, reduced width 0.96 ± 0.01 MeV], a 3/2^- state at 9.16 ± 0.14 MeV [Γ_α = 2.09 ± 0.18 MeV, γ² = 0.13 ± 0.05 MeV] and a 1/2^- state at 9.74 ± 0.05 MeV [no significant Γ_α, γ² = 1.87 ± 0.18 MeV] (1981CH12). Another recent R-matrix analysis (1983KN06) suggests an unbound 1/2⁺ state at 8.81 MeV, a 3/2⁺ state at 9.97 MeV and a 1/2^- state at 10.31 MeV, in addition to the previously known states. The spectroscopic factors for the l = 0 decay to ⁶Li_g.s. are S = 0.2 and 0.8 for ⁷Li*(8.81, 9.97). The states suggested by (1983KN06) are very broad and cannot be seen directly in reaction or compound nucleus cross-section work (see also reaction 13). The two positive-parity states in ⁷Li are consistent with the ⁶Li + n scattering and reaction cross sections and provide an explanation for the anisotropy of the ⁶Li(n, t)α reaction at low energies (1983KN06). See also (1982ST15; theor.).

The excitation function for 3.56 MeV γ-rays exhibits an anomaly, also seen in the (n, p) reaction (reaction 8). The data are well fitted assuming E_res = 3.50 and 4.60 MeV [E_x = 10.25 ± 0.10 and 11.19 ± 0.05 MeV], T = 1/2 and 3/2, Γ_c.m. = 1.40 ± 0.10 and 0.27 ± 0.05 MeV, respectively; both J^π = 3/2^-. The reduced widths for the T = 3/2 state [⁷Li*(11.19)] are θ²_n = 2 × 10^-4, θ²_n'' = 0.16 [to ⁶Li*(3.56)] and θ²_p = 0.09: see also (1979AJ01) for a discussion of these and other (unpublished) data.

See also ⁶Li, (1979CZ1A, 1980MI02, 1982SA1F), (1977DE1C, 1977KN1A, 1981JAZZ) and (1977HA1E, 1978KO12, 1978TA1A, 1980BA34, 1982LE10, 1983FU06; theor.).

8. (a) 6Li(n, 2n)5Li	Qm = -5.66	Eb = 7.2501
(b) 6Li(n, p)6He	Qm = -2.724

For reaction (a) see (1976GO12). The excitation function, measured from threshold to E_n = 8.9 MeV, exhibits an anomaly at E_n = 4.6 MeV. The excitation function, at forward angles, of p₀ is approximately constant for E_n = 4.4 to 7.25 MeV: see (1979AJ01). See also ⁶He, (1980MI02) and (1982SH1K; applied).

9. 6Li(n, d)5He

Qm = -2.37

Eb = 7.2501

The excitation function, at forward angles, of deuterons increases monotonically for E_n = 5.4 to 6.8 MeV: see (1979AJ01), ⁵He and (1982SH1K).

10. 6Li(n, α)3H

Qm = 4.7820

Eb = 7.2501

The isotopic thermal cross section is 940 ± 4 b: see (1981MUZQ). See also (1981EN01). Below 5 keV, the total cross section is given by σ = (149.5/(square root of E) (eV)) +0.696 b: see (1979AJ01). See also (1981IN1B). The 1/v dependence of the cross section (strong l = 0 waves) is not understood in terms of the known level structure of ⁷Li: see e.g. (1982SM02). In the 1 eV to 10 keV energy region, the ORNL results give an energy dependence for the asymmetry in the forward-to-backward 66° cone (lab) of the form A = 1+0.0055(square root of E_n), where E_n is the energy in eV (J.A. Harvey and I.G. Schroder, private communication). See, however, reaction 7.

A resonance occurs at E_n = 241 ± 3 keV with σ_max = 3.15 ± 0.08 b (1978LA23; E_n = 3 to 800 keV), 3.36 ± 0.6 b (1978RE1B; E_n = 80 to 470 keV). The resonance is formed by p-waves, J^π = 5/2^-, and has a large neutron width and a small α-width: see Table 7.4 (in PDF or PS). Above the resonance the cross section decreases monotonically to E_n = 18.2 MeV (1983BA17), except for a small bump near E_n ≈ 1.8 MeV [see (1976GAYV, 1979AJ01)] and an inflection near E_n = 3.5 MeV, corresponding, presumably, to the anomaly reported in (n, n'γ) [see reaction 7] [⁷Li*(10.25), J^π = 3/2^-, T = 1/2] (1979BA37; E_n = 2.2 to 9.7 MeV). See also (1980BA39).

Angular distributions have been measured at many energies in the range E_n = 0.1 to 7.3 MeV [see (1979AJ01)], 2 and 24 keV (1979ST03), 2.0 to 3.5 MeV (1982KNZZ), 2.16 to 9.66 MeV (1980BA39) and at 14.1 MeV (1982HI06). See also (1977HA1J).

(1979BO1E) report a right-left asymmetry for polarized thermal neutrons of (0.95 ± 0.4) × 10^-4. Polarization measurements are reported by (1977KA06) for E_{pol. n} = 0.2 to 2.4 MeV: the data suggest interference between s-waves and the p-wave resonance at 0.25 MeV. Interference between this 5/2^- state and a broad 3/2^- state 2 MeV higher also appears to contribute. At the higher energies A_y is close to +0.9 near 90° and varies slowly with E_n (1977KA06). See also (1982KNZZ).

See also (1977GA1A, 1980CZ1A), (1979DA1C, 1980BR1L, 1980UC1A, 1981HA1N, 1982SH1K; applications), (1977DE1C, 1977HA1E, 1977KN1A, 1982HA1X) and (1977HA1H, 1978KO12, 1979WE03, 1980BA34; theor.).

11. 6Li(p, π+)7Li

Qm = -133.100

At E_p = 600 MeV, the reaction prefereantially excites ⁷Li*(4.63). Angular distributions have been obtained for the pions to ⁷Li*(0, 0.48, 4.63) at E_p = 600 MeV (1977BA37) and 800 MeV (1981NAZY). The T = 3/2 state ⁷Li*(11.24) is not observed (1977BA37). See also (1980KE1D, 1981WI1F, 1982LE1L, 1982NA1K, 1982LO1B) and (1979ME2A, 1980WH1A).

(b) 6Li(d, np)6Li	Qm = -2.22458
(c) 6Li(d, pt)4He	Qm = 2.5574

Angular distributions of proton groups have been studied for E_d = 0.12 to 15 MeV [see (1966LA04, 1974AJ01, 1979AJ01)] and at 698 MeV (1981BO03; p₀ → p₃). S = 0.90 and 1.15 for ⁷Li*(0, 0.48) [DWBA analysis]; J^π of ⁷Li*(0.48) is 1/2^-. The two higher states have E_x = 4.630 ± 0.009 and 7.464 ± 0.010 MeV, Γ_c.m. = 93 ± 8 and 91 ± 8 keV. ⁷Li*(7.46) appears to be a ²⁴P state: see (1974AJ01). Reaction (b) at E_d = 10 MeV appears to proceed via ⁷Li*(7.46) and possibly ⁷Li*(9.6) [Γ = 0.5 ± 0.1 MeV]. Reaction (c) strongly involves ⁷Li*(4.63, 7.46) (E_d = 7.5 → 10.5 MeV): see (1979AJ01). See also (1979HO04). For the breakup involving ³He emission see (1979HO04). See also ⁸Be, (1981CE04) and (1979ME2A, 1980WH1A, 1982LO1B).

The total photoneutron cross section rises sharply from 10 MeV to reach a broad plateau at about 15 mb from 14 to 20 MeV, decreases more slowly to about 0.5 mb at 25 MeV and then decreases further to about 0.3 mb at E_γ = 30 MeV (monoenergetic photons): there are indications of weak structure throughout the entire region. Differential cross sections for n₀ and n₁ have been reported for E_γ = 7 to 25 MeV. The integrated cross section to 23 MeV is 39 ± 4 MeV · mb for the n₀ transition and 17 ± 4 MeV · mb for the n₁ transition: together these account for 0.4 of the exchange augmented dipole sum of ⁷Li: see (1979AJ01). The integrated cross section for formation of ⁶Li*(3.56) is 4 ± 1 MeV · mb to 30 MeV and 11 ± 3 MeV · mb to 55 MeV (1978DE13).

The total absorption cross section for natural Li in the range 10 to 340 MeV shows a broad peak at ≈ 30 MeV (σ_max ≈ 3 mb), a minimum centered at ≈ 150 MeV at ≈ 0.3 mb and a fairly smooth increase in cross section to ≈ 3 mb at ≈ 320 MeV (1979AH1A, 1979ZI1A). See also the references in (1979AJ01).

The cross section for the (γ, p) reaction (reaction (c)) shows a maximum at ≈ 15.6 MeV with a width of ≈ 4 MeV: see (1974AJ01). It then decreases fairly smoothly to 27 MeV (1979JU02). The integrated cross section for 11 → 28 MeV is 13.2 ± 2.0 MeV · mb (1979JU02). For the earlier work see (1979AJ01). Differential cross sections for the (γ, n₀ + n₂) and (γ, p₀) processes are reported by (1983SE07; E_γ = 60 to 120 MeV). Reaction (e) has been studied in the giant resonance reaction with E_bs ≲ 30 MeV. Deuteron groups to ⁵He_g.s. and possibly to the first excited state are reported. States of ⁷Li with E_x = 25 - 30 MeV may be involved when E_bs = 37 to 50 MeV is used: see (1979AJ01). See also (1979JU02, 1982KIZW).

The cross section for reaction (f) at 90° displays a broad resoannce at E ≈ 7.7 MeV (Γ = 7.2 MeV) with an integrated cross section of 6.2 MeV · mb, a plateau for 12 → 22 MeV (at ≈ 0.6 the cross section at 7.7 MeV) and a gradual decrease to 48 MeV. The (γ, t) cross section integrated from threshold to 50 MeV is 8.1 MeV · mb (1979SK05; monoenergetic photons; angular distributions). See also (1979JU02).

The electric form factor measurements for E_e = 100 to 600 MeV are well accounted for by a simple harmonic oscillator shell model with a quadrupole contribution described by an undeformed p-shell: R_rms = 2.39 ± 0.03 fm, |Q| = 42 ± 2.5 mb. From results obtained for E_e = 24.14 to 97.19 MeV, R_rms = 2.35 ± 0.10 fm (model independent), 2.29 ± 0.04 fm (shell model). A study of the ratio of the electric charge scattering from ⁶Li and from ⁷Li as a function of (momentum transfer)² yields < r² > ^1/2₆/ < r² > ^1/2₇ = 1.001 ± 0.008. The rms radius of the ground-state magnetization density distribution, < r² > ^1/2_M = 2.98 ± 0.05 fm. From the ratio of transverse inelastic and elastic cross sections at 180°, B(M1, ↑; 0.48) = 2.50 ± 0.12 μ²_N. The cross section for the longitudinal excitation of ⁷Li*(0.48) has been found from the scattering through angles of 90° to 150°, B(C2, ↑; 0.48) = 7 ± 4 fm⁴: see (1979AJ01) for references. The form factor for ⁷Li*(0.48) has been measured at θ = 180° for 0.4 < q < 0.75 fm^-1 (1982BU09): Γ₀(M1) = (7.5 ± 1.7) × 10^-3 eV, in good agreement with earlier values. Form factors for ⁷Li*(0, 0.48) are also reported for 0.8 < q < 2.9 fm ^-1 (1983LI07).

Inelastic scattering studies show peaks corresponding to ⁷Li*(4.63, 6.68, 7.46, 11.24) in addition to ⁷Li*(0.48): see (1974AJ01) and Table 7.5 (in PDF or PS). Quasi-elastic processes have been studied by (1978KU06; 250 → 580 MeV/c). At E_e = 700 MeV the proton separation spectra (reaction (b)) are similar to those observed in (p, 2p) (1978NA05). See also (1980AS02) and ⁶He, ⁶Li for reactions (b) and (c). At E_e = 450 to 1096 MeV (1980TI05) have studied the contributions of longitudinal and transverse components of the cross section for inelastic scattering: the effect of meson-exchange currents is observed.

Total cross sections for π on Li (from which partial cross sections were then derived) have been obtained for π⁺ and π^- at sevseral energies in the range 85 → 315 MeV (1981AS07, 1979NA04).

Angular distributions of protons have been measured for E_p = 49.8 to 155 MeV: see (1974AJ01) and at E_p = 24.4 MeV (1982PE06; p₀, p₁, p₂). Inelastic proton groups have been observed corresponding to ⁷Li*(0.48, 4.63, 6.68, 7.46, 9.6 ± 0.2): see (1952AJ38, 1974AJ01).

For reaction (b) see (1980CH05; 800 MeV), ⁶He and (1979AJ01). For reaction (c) see (1981ER10; 670 MeV) and ⁵He. Reaction (d) proceeds sequentially via ⁷Li*(4.63, 6.68). At E_p = 100 MeV (1977RO02) find S_α = 0.94 ± 0.05, using a DWIA analysis, a value close to that predicted by simple LS-coupling shell-model predictions.

Angular distributions are reported at E(³He) = 11 MeV (elastic) [see (1974AJ01)], at 44.04 MeV (1979GO07; g.s.) and at E(pol. ³He) = 33.3 MeV (1981BA37; ⁷Li*(0, 0.48, 4.63). See also ¹⁰B and (1979KA1G). At E(³He) = 37.5 MeV, the three-body final states which are most strongly populated are the ³He + α + t and ³He + d + ⁵He branches. Detection of ³He - t coincidences lead to a most probable momentum for the spectator α-particle of 60 MeV/c; the d - ³He breakup results suggest the unlikelihood of deuteron clusters in ⁷Li: see (1979AJ01).

See also (1982HN1A) and (1982CO18, 1983CO05; theor.).

28. 7Be(ε)7Li

Qm = 0.862

The decay proceeds to the ground and 0.48 MeV states. The branching ratio to ⁷Li*(0.48) is 10.39 ± 0.06%: see Table 7.6 (in PDF or PS). A recent value of 15.4 ± 0.8% has been suggested by (1982ROZS). However subsequently a number of groups have remeasured the branching ratio and find agreement with an earlier value. [In (1979AJ01) the value of (1974GO26) was improperly quoted; it is (10.35 ± 0.08)%]. The adopted half-life is 53.29 ± 0.07 d. Both transitions are superallowed: log ft = 3.32 and 3.55 for the decays to ⁷Li*(0, 0.48). See (1978RA2A, 1979AJ01) for references.

The energy of the γ-ray is 477.605 ± 0.003 keV (1978HE21), 477.6064 ± 0.0026 keV (1983KU03) [E_x derived from the mean E_γ is 477.612 ± 0.002 keV].

29. 9Be(π-, 2n)7Li

Qm = 119.865

The capture of stopped pions has been studied in a kinematically complete experiment: ⁷Li*(0, 0.48) are weakly populated. Two large peaks are attributed to the excitation of ⁷Li*(7.46, 10.25) [see, however, Table 7.2 (in PDF or PS)]. The recoil momentum distributions corresponding to these peaks are rather similar and both indicate a strong L = 0 component (1977BA51).

Angular distributions of the t₀ and t₁ groups are reported at E_n = 13.99 MeV: see (1979AJ01). See also (1978DR03) and ¹⁰Be.

31. 9Be(p, 3He)7Li

Qm = -11.201

At E_p = 43.7 MeV angular distributions have been obtained for the ³He particles corresponding to ⁷Li*(0, 0.48, 4.63, 7.46). The 7.46 MeV state is strongly excited while the mirror state in ⁷Be is not appreciably populated in the mirror reaction (see reaction 15 in ⁷Be). The angular distribution indicates that the transition to ⁷Li*(7.46) involves both L = 0 and 2, with a somewhat dominant L = 0 character. The J^π = 3/2^-, T = 3/2 state is located at E_x = 11.28 ± 0.04 MeV, Γ = 260 ± 50 keV: see (1979AJ01) for references. See also (1981DE1X).

Angular distributions have been measured for E_d = 0.4 to 27.5 MeV: see (1966LA04, 1974AJ01, 1979AJ01). A study at 11 MeV finds Γ_c.m. = 93 ± 25 and 80 ± 20 keV, respectively, for ⁷Li*(4.63, 7.46). No evidence is found for the T = 3/2 state ⁷Li*(11.25). In a kinematically complete study of reaction (b) at E_d = 26.3 MeV, ⁷Li*(4.6, 6.5 + 7.5, 9.4) are strongly excited. No sharp α-decaying states of ⁷Li are observed with 10 < E_x < 25 MeV. Parameters for ⁷Li*(9.7) are E_x = 9.36 ± 0.05 MeV, Γ = 0.8 ± 0.2 MeV: see (1979AJ01).
