Abstract

We present the measured spectra of γ and neutron radiation generated in the 9Be(3He,pγ)11B and 9Be(3He,nγ)11C nuclear reactions at an energy of 2.57 MeV of 3He ions using a BC-501A organic detector and an HPGe semiconductor spectrometer. Line shapes of 6.9-MeV γ-transitions from the 9Be(3He,nγ)11C reaction and 8.92-MeV transitions from the 9Be(3He,pγ)11B reaction, measured at angles of 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, and 120° have been determined. The angular distribution of protons emitted when populating the 8.92-MeV level of the 11B nucleus in 9Be(3He,pγ)11B reaction, as well as the energy distribution of neutrons in 9Be(3He,nγ)11C reaction, have been reconstructed.
