Abstract
We have studied states up to 9 MeV excitation energy via the (,) and (,) reactions. Excitation energies, widths, absolute cross sections, and angular distributions were measured. Distorted-wave Born approximation calculations were performed for comparison with the (,) angular distributions and the (,) data were compared with previous calculations. Members of the 4.5-MeV doublet were found to have excitation energies of 4.518 ± 0.008 and 4.590 ± 0.008 MeV with spin and parity and , respectively. The 5.1-MeV group was resolved into a doublet with 5.090 ± 0.008 and 5.144 ± 0.008 MeV excitation energies. Several previously unidentified states were found at excitation energies greater than 5 MeV, including a state at 7.062 ± 0.012 MeV that is strongly populated via (,), but not observed in (,). We calculated two-particle Coulomb energy shifts for model mass-18 states and found that the difference between the excitation energy of the 4.59-MeV state and the analogous state at 5.34 MeV in gives strong evidence for the predominantly character of the state.
