Study of the 6Li + p $ \rightarrow$ 3He + 4He reaction in inverse kinematics

Angular distribution measurements were performed for the 6Li + p$ \rightarrow$3He + 4He reaction in inverse kinematics at incident energies of 2.7, 3.3, 4.2 and 4.8MeV/u. The detection of both recoils ( 3He and 4He over the laboratory angle range $ \theta_{lab}=16^{\circ}$ to $ 34^{\circ}$ allowed the determination of the angular distribution over a wide angular range in the center-of-mass frame ( $ \theta_{c.m.}\sim 40^{\circ}$ to $ 140^{\circ}$. The results clarify inconsistencies between existing data sets and are consistent with compound nucleus model calculations.
