Whole continuous α spectra of the p-11B three-body sequential decay reaction have been measured by using a charge particle time-of-flight (TOF) spectrometer with the high-resolution passivated implanted planar silicon detector. A characteristic shape of the saddle-type distribution was obtained. The Monte Carlo calculations show that observed α spectra can be interpreted by anisotropy sequential decay process of the intermediate nucleus 8Be (1) for the p-11B reaction. In the measurement, angular distributions were obtained for proton energies at 667 and 1370 keV, respectively. Total cross-sections for the 11B(p,α)8Be(2α) reaction related to the clean fusion fuel were also reported at two bombarding energies.
