5Li

5Li is formed when 3He + 2H fuse. Its levels just above each threshold are the resonances that set those reactions' rates.

Channels and what has been measured

Every EXFOR reaction that forms 5Li: entrance pair (rows) and the quantities measured (columns), with the energies covered.

Every EXFOR reaction that forms ⁵Li: entrance pair (rows) and the quantities measured (columns), with the energies covered.

Level scheme

Adopted levels of 5Li from ENSDF, with the particle thresholds and the Gamow window of the selected channel drawn across them.

Level scheme
0.0003/2-Gamow window, T₉ = 0.8S(d) = 16.387 MeVE (MeV)
  • level in the window with a measured ωγ
  • level in the window with no ωγ in EXFOR
  • Jπ in parentheses or in italics is tentative.

Resonances in the window

Levels between the 3He(d,p)4He threshold (S = 16387 keV) and the top of the Gamow window at T9 = 0.8 (306 keV above it), with the resonance strengths ωγ EXFOR holds for them.

ENSDF lists no level in this window.

A strength is matched to a level when its resonance energy plus the threshold lies within max(3 keV, 3σ) of the level energy.
