The level structure of 27 A1 from 0-to 6.5-MeV excitation has been studied with the 28 Si (i, 3 He) 27 Al reaction at £d=34.4 MeV. Eight experimental angular distributions are presented. Assignments of / values and spectroscopic factors are made with a local, zero-range distorted-wave Born-approximation analysis. The deduced I values are consistent with the known spins of levels of 27 A1 of excitation energy < 3.0 MeV. Levels at 4.05-and 5.15-MeV excitation are assigned 1=1, and the level at 4.40-MeV excitation is assigned 1-2. The extracted spectroscopic factors are discussed in terms of some simple models for 27 A1 and compared with results from new shell-model calculations.
