An Investigation of the Reactions: ¹⁰B(d, n)¹¹C and ¹¹B(d, n)¹²C

The ¹⁰B(d, n)¹¹C and ¹¹B(d, n)¹²C reactions have been investigated by bombarding the separated isotopes of ¹⁰B and ¹¹B with a beam of 9 MeV deuterons and analysing the neutron groups with a fast-neutron spectrometer Angular distributions and cross sections for a number of neutron groups have been measured. The theory of the stripping process has been applied to assign parities to levels in ¹¹C and ¹²C and to obtain information about the spins of these levels.
