14 deutron gruoups populating levels to 10.26 MeV excitation in /sup 20/ Ne have been measured with the /sup 19/F(/sup 3/He, d)/sup 20/Ne reaction. Excitati on functions measured at theta /sub lab/= 25 and 45 deg from 20.0 to 21.2 MeV reveal little structure, and therefore probably little compound-nuclear contribution to the observed cross sections for the deutcron groups. In particular, the 2- level at 4.97 MeV excitation, strongly populated at E/sub /sup 3/He/ = 10 MeV, is weakly populated in the present energy range. The j- forbidden'' 41 level at 4.25 MeV excitation, on the other hand, is strongly populated in the present energy range. A collective-model coupled-channel Born- approximation analysis of angular distributions measured at E/sub //sup 3/He/= 21 and 23 MeV is better able to explain the data than distorted-wave born- approximation analysis for the positive-parity states. The negative-parity states are poorly described by both theories. (auth)
