SPECTROSCOPY OF 14N BY USE OF 12C(3HE P)14N REACTION

Spectra and angular distributions were obtained for the reaction 12C(3He, p)14N at E(3He) = 20.1 MeV from θlab = 8° to 170°. Distorted-wave calculations were compared to experimental angular distributions and relative total cross sections. Agreement was found when a spin-independent interaction potential was used. Nuclear wave functions used in the calculations are discussed. Spectroscopic and configuration assignments were made or confirmed on the basis of excitation energy, angular distribution, comparison of (α, d) and (3He, p) results, relative total cross sections and comparison of experimental results with distorted wave Born approximation calculations. A spin and parity assignment of 2- and a tentative assignment of 4+ were made for the 9.388 and 10.85 MeV, T = 0 levels, respectively. Configurations are suggested for the 8.979, 10.213 and 10.85 MeV levels. © 1968.
