Resumo

The giant electric dipole resonances based on the ground state (${0}^{+}$) and first excited state (${2}^{+}$) of $^{8}\mathrm{Be}$ have been studied with the reactions $^{7}\mathrm{Li}(p,{\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{0})^{8}\mathrm{Be}$ and $^{7}\mathrm{Li}(p,{\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{1})^{8}\mathrm{Be}$ over the range ${E}_{p}=0.8 \mathrm{to} 17.6$ MeV. Both resonances show a simple resonant shape with little fine structure. The ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{1}$ giant resonance is displaced upward from the ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{0}$ resonance by an energy of 2.2 MeV which is approximately equal to the excitation of the ${2}^{+}$ state. The reduced ($\ensuremath{\gamma},{p}_{0}$) strengths of the two resonances are approximately equal and each exhausts about 10% of the $E1$ sum rule. The angular distributions for both ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{0}$ and ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{1}$ are quite constant over the giant resonance structure and are predominantly dipole in character. A simple model can be invoked to explain the dominant $E1$ features. The presence of ${P}_{1}(cos\ensuremath{\theta})$ and ${P}_{3}(cos\ensuremath{\theta})$ terms in both angular distributions indicates $E2$ strength which probably increases above the $E1$ resonances. Some parameters for the narrow levels at 18.15 and 19.06 MeV in $^{8}\mathrm{Be}$ are given.NUCLEAR REACTIONS $^{7}\mathrm{Li}(p,\ensuremath{\gamma})$, $E=0.8\ensuremath{-}17.6$ MeV; measured $\ensuremath{\sigma}(E;{E}_{\ensuremath{\gamma}},\ensuremath{\theta})$.
