Abstract

The breakup of $^{10} B$ has been studied using the $^{7} Li (^{12} C,^{10} B^{*})^{9} Be$ two-nucleon transfer reaction with a 76-MeV $^{12} C$ beam incident on a ${Li}_{2} O$ target. The $^{10} B$ excited states were observed to break up into $α +^{6} Li,$ $α +^{6} Li {(3}^{+}),$ $^{8} Be + d,$ and $^{9} Be + p .$ Evidence is found for two new states in $^{10} B$ at excitation energies of $7.96 \pm 0.07 MeV$ and $9.58 \pm 0.06 MeV$ that decay strongly into the $α +^{6} Li {(3}^{+})$ final state.
