Abstract

We demonstrate the feasibility of using electrons to study the influence of time-delay effects associated with isolated nuclear resonances on atomic excitation. With present techniques, variations in atomic ionization probabilities on the order of 20% can be detected. We present results for the case of -electron emission across the 12-keV-wide p+C12 elastic-scattering resonance at 4.808 MeV. Such studies can extend measurements of nuclear-atomic time-delay effects to a range of time and energy previously inaccessible to experimental investigation. © 1987 The American Physical Society.
