Abstract
A three crystal pair spectrometer was used to determine the relative intensities of gamma radiation produced in the bombardment of separated and targets by and ions at energies of 2.6 and 3.6 MeV. The observed gamma radiation arises from excited states of residual nuclei. These include , , , , , , and in the present experiment. Relative populations deduced from the data indicate that a difference of one unit of charge for the matter transferred in the reaction does not strongly influence the relative cross sections. In particular, the production of (ground state) and the equivalent state in (15.11 MeV) in the bombardment of by were in the ratio 2:1. A value of 2.3:1 is predicted for this ratio on the basis of simple stripping theory and cluster breakup in this reaction. The relative populations of the excited states of produced in the three reactions show systematic variations as a function of excitation.
