Abstract
The level expected in the mass-13 nuclei according to shell-model calculations has been searched for by magnetic analysis of the and reactions using a broad-range magnetic spectrograph. Up to an excitation energy of 7.9 MeV in and 7.0 MeV in , no new levels have been found. states reported previously at 5.51 and 6.10 MeV in the reaction have not been confirmed. The apparent absence of a state up to ≅7 MeV excitation suggests that the intermediate coupling parameter may be smaller than presupposed. In an investigation of the reaction we have resolved the 5.11-5.16-MeV doublet. levels reported previously at 2.86, 5.58, and 6.40 MeV have not been confirmed by studies of this reaction.
