Abstract

The (He3,t) reaction at 130 and 170 MeV has been investigated on targets of C12, O16, Al27, Si28, Ca40, Ti46, and Zr90. Data for the (He3,He3′) reaction were measured simultaneously for reference purposes. Structure is observed in the spectra from the (He3,He3′) and (He3,t) reactions at the expected positions of the giant quadrupole resonance and the isobaric analog of the giant dipole resonance, respectively. An angular distribution was measured for the suspected giant dipole resonance structure in the Ca40(He3,t)Sc40 reaction at 130 MeV. The data are reasonably described by a collective model calculation based on the Goldhaber-Teller model for the giant dipole resonance. Several other strong peaks at excitation energies below the giant dipole resonance are observed in the (He3,t) spectra. Most notable of these are the ones at the expected positions for analogs of well known 1+ states and 1ω stretched states in the targets.
