Study ofN14by the ReactionC

Abstract

A thin carbon foil enriched to 91% in 13 C was bombarded with 15-MeV 3 He ions from a tandem electrostatic accelerator. Angular distributions of deuterons corresponding to the bound states of 14 N were measured with a single-gap magnetic spectrograph. Distorted-wave calculations were performed and spectroscopic factors were extracted. Agreement with the predictions of intermediate-coupling theory is very good, indicating that this theory provides a good description of states arising from ^-shell configurations.
