The reactions leading from the C/sup 14/ ground state to the ground state and first excited states of C/sup 13/ were studied using 14.8-Mev incident deuterons. Outgoing particles were magnetically analyzed and were detected by a Csl(Tl) crystal. The resulting pulses were sorted by a six-channel pulse-height analyzer. The targets were prepared by depositing carbon (enriched to 29% in C/ sup 14) on gold foil. Positive identification of the levels was made by substitution of a natural carbon target, and also by observation of the variation of recoil energy as a function of scattering; angle. Experimentally observed angular distributions of tritons leading to the low-lying states C/sup 13/ were compared with those predicted by the theory of Butler, and the results are shown. (M.H.R.)
