Abstract
The reduced width is calculated on the basis of the collective model. The two extreme approximations, weak and strong couplings are adopted. The weak coupling approximation predicts its magnitude similar to but a little smaller than that predicted by the individual particle model. On the other hand the strong coupling approximation predicts a very different value from that predicted by the single particle model. We have treated only the case in which the compound nucleus has one or two particles outside the core. It is shown that the experimental data of the reduced widths of light nuclei lie between those derived on the two extreme approximations.
