Abstract
Angular distributions have been measured of some of the proton, deuteron and α-particle groups emitted from targets of beryllium, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen when bombarded by 9 MeV deuterons. The proton angular distributions have been compared with those calculated from the stripping theories enabling assignments of spins and parities to be made to levels of the residual nuclei. Calculations have also been made of the relative capture probabilities and reduced widths and in the cases of carbon and nitrogen it was possible to express them in absolute units.
