Three-particle transfer on ¹⁴N

(³He- alpha ) and (t- alpha ) angular correlations for the reaction processes ¹⁴N(⁶Li, ³He)¹⁷O* to ( alpha )¹³C and ¹⁴N(⁶Li, t)¹⁷F* to ( alpha )¹³N, respectively, are measured at 36 MeV of ⁶Li beam. High selectivity is observed for the three-particle transfer processes. Structureless angular correlations hinder definite spin and parity assignments. Shell-model calculations are performed for comparison with the experimental data, and this allows tentative spin identification. EFR DWBA calculations are carried out which provide additional confirmation of the spin suggestions. Useful nuclear structure information is obtained for the mass-17 nuclear states. The data show a weak t+³He clustering in the ⁶Li ground state.
