Abstract
The 40-MeV proton beam from the University of Minnesota Linear Accelerator has been used to study a number of medium-mass nuclei via the single-neutron pickup reaction. Elements studied were , , , , , and . Deuteron energy spectra were taken over a range generally corresponding to 5 or 10 MeV of excitation of the final nucleus. Angular distributions were taken over a range from 6° to 60° for most of the well-defined deuteron groups. Reduced widths were extracted using the Butler theory. The and hole-energy differences in were found to be 2.6±0.15 and 6.3±0.15 MeV, respectively. The difference in was measured to be 6.4±0.15 MeV.
