Abstract
The proton structure of 11B, which can be studied via proton induced reactions or transfer reactions on 10Be, has numerous applications in nuclear astrophysics. Reactions involving 10Be play a significant role in Core-Collapse Supernovae and in Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis. Additionally, the structure of 11B above neutron thresholds is important for neutron detection. Recently published work proposes a new excited state for 11B at Ex = 11.4 MeV. However this work finds no evidence for the existence of this resonance. An initial investigation into the proton structure of 11B was conducted at Edwards Accelerator Laboratory by studying the 10Be(d, n)11B reaction employing deuteron beam energies of seven, eight, and nine MeV. The resulting neutrons were measured at 0◦ by a detector located in a neutron time of flight tunnel. Through time of flight methods, populated states of 11B were studied via differential cross section measurements with particular interest at higher excitation energies.
