LEVELS EXCITED IN 73GE BY (D,P) AND (P,P') REACTIONS

Angular distributions from the reactions72Ge(d, p)73Ge and73Ge(p, p′)73Ge have been studied with 8.0 MeV deuterons and 12.0 MeV protons, respectively, using the Aldermaston Tandem Van de Graaff generator and multi-angle magnetic spectrograph. The ground state Q-value of the (d, p) reaction was measured to be 4.571±0.004 MeV. The energies, values of the transferred orbital angular momenta, parities and transition strengths in both reactions were determined by use of distorted-wave Bornapproximation calculations, for levels up to 3 MeV excitation energy. The sums of the transition strengths are compared with shell model calculations as well as with values obtained in neighbouring nuclei. Discrepancies between parity and possible spin assignments of states observed in the two reactions are discussed. © 1969 Springer-Verlag.
