Correlations in Compound-Nucleus Decay Amplitudes in the Vicinity of Isobaric Analog States

Abstract

Polarization and ($p, {p}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{\gamma}$) angular-correlation studies near isobaric analog resonances in proton scattering from $^{92}\mathrm{Mo}$ and $^{106}\mathrm{Cd}$ indicate strong correlations between compound-nuclear decay channels. A modified Hauser-Feshbach formula which includes correlations among these channels which belong to the analog resonance can explain the data.
