Total strength of the magnetic dipole resonance in 27Al
The γ decay of the resonance-like structure observed in the 26Mg(pγ)27 Al reaction in the energy range Ep = 0.8–3.0 MeV of accelerated protons has been investigated. The M1 resonance on the ground and excited states of 27Al with E* = 844 and 1014 keV is identified. The total strength of the M1 resonance on the ground state of this nucleus is determined. The position and total strength of this resonance are explained taking into account pairing forces.
