Abstract
The excitation spectrum of has been examined through measurements of charged-particle energy spectra from four nuclear reactions. Triton energies up to 22 MeV were used to induce the , , and reactions. Deuterons of 16- and 22-MeV energy were used to induce the reaction. All of the energy spectra show peaks from the ground and first excited (1.80-MeV) states, but no other structure attributable to states of was observed. Differential cross-section data for the ground and first excited states were obtained for three of the reactions. The () cross-section data were compared with the results of distorted-wave Born-approximation calculations and with data collected from the reaction. These comparisons were consistent with an assignment of for the 1.80-MeV state.
