Abstract
A measurement of low-lying states in was conducted using the Li,tB reaction at a beam energy of 56 MeV. The particles resulting from the decay of into + p were detected with position sensitive detectors, and relative energy spectra were obtained from the data using the technique of resonant particle decay spectroscopy. This technique provided a very low background, and the ability to separate the states that decay by + p from those that decay by + α. Results show that a significant portion of the measured spectrum below ≊ 1.5 MeV cannot be explained by the known states which suggests that these counts arise from the mirror of the 1.68 MeV 1/ state of . It was also shown that the recently observed 1/ state decays via the pBe channel.
