Proton and deuteron radiative capture to A = 13 nuclei

Differential capture 12C(p, \u3b3)13N and 11B(d, \u3b3)13C cross sections have been measured in the excitation energy region between 20 and 45 MeV in 13N and 25 and 42 MeV in 13C. Angular distributions are given for the p\u3b3 channel at each energy, while the d\u3b3 excitation function has been measured at 60\ub0. The p\u3b30 data show, besides a direct capture term, the excitation of giant dipole resonances based on excited states of the compound nucleus. The main feature of the deuteron capture cross section can be understood in terms of a mechanism in which the proton-neutron pair is captured in the same single particle configuration by the 11B core
