Description
Summary:The direct method of decay branching ratio determination for nuclear unbound states is proposed. The method is based on the complex study of three particle reactions in kinematically complete and incomplete experiments. The resonance decay probability is defined as a ratio of experimentally observed magnitudes, namely the differential cross sections corresponding to the processes of resonance excitation and their decay. The most favourable conditions for such measurements have unbound states with the excitation energy near the decay threshold into the one of the possible channels. The peculiarities and some applications of the proposed method are discussed.
