Predicted Positive Parity States
Positive Parity States come from coupling of proton and neutron in p shells
3/2- + 3/2- → 0+,1+,2+,3+
There are other predicted levels which have yet to be observed
Basic shell Model Prediction
7Be ground state is 3/2- due to the unpaired 3/2-
neutron – a very proton rich nucleus

s 1/2
p 3/2
p 1/2
7Be+ (l=0) p 3/2 proton is an elastic scattering reaction with expected positive parity states: 0+ ,1+ ,2+ ,3+ 7Be+ (l=1) p 1/2 proton is an inelastic scattering reaction with expected positive parity states: 0+ ,1+ ,2+
7Be(p,)8B extrapolation
• Uncertainty in shape of d/d and 7Be(p,) extrapolation to solar energies dominated by s-wave scattering lengths

Many positions in target can produce equal elastic and inelastic energies

Inelastic Scattering • Inelastic locus behaves kinematically like protons – Shape
• Inelastic locus is of correct energy (elastic proton energy less 7Be FES energy) - Separation
ΔE
Inelastic Prediction
General behavior of inelastic prediction consistent with data
Simultaneous Fit of Elastic and Inelastic
•Fitting must be
done simultaneously for many dimensions
•This requires a
single set of resonance parameters for whole data set
•Consequence is that
total χ2 must be
considered
Thin-target data• Example of p and p` at one
angle
• Possible positive parity resonance observed in inelastic channel
Not the known 3+
3+ f-wave in inelastic
• Ecm~ 2.3 MeV
• Possible: J=0+, 1+, 2+
• Accurate absolute normalization should allow accurate determination of scattering lengths
• Resonance is too high in energy to significantly affect S(0), but may explain some of the higher energy behavior

Minimization versus Grid Search
• Grid Search
1. +Allows for arbitrarily precise parameter search
2. -Eats up computer time
• Minimization
1. -Favors nearest minima (would be plus for well-known landscape)
2. +Converges quickly based on local curvature

Minimization tends toward broad minima – not necessarily the deepest. This is a well known weakness of purely minimizing routines.
Combined Grid-Powell Technique may lift this weakness – but add considerable CPU time

Current Analysis
• Multi Calculations being performed with large parameter space – grid search
• Search requires iteration over assignments of Jπ, energies and widths
Grid search gets quickly out of hand

Future Work
• Determine Resonance Parameters of states in the region of 1 to 4 MeV and sensitivity to each parameter
• Another 7Be(p,p) experiment would help to flesh out the cross section above 3.5 MeV
• Determine scattering lengths from low energy data.
SIDAR Lampshade Configuration
•Increased solid-angle coverage
•Can be configured for ΔE-E telescopes
•Extends angular coverage to more ‘backward’ angles
