The three neutron groups, populating the ground state, the 2.566 MeV state and the 3.51, 3.55 MeV doublet of /sup 13/N were studied. Differential cross section measurements between E/sub alpha / = 1.0 and 5.0 MeV at 0, 90, and 160 deg showed fifteen resonances of which nine had not been seen before in this reaction. Angular distributions were taken at six alpha -energies. These confirmed the J/sup pi / = 3/sup -/ assignment of the 12.690 level in /sup 14/N and permitted a tentative assignment of J/sup pi / = 3/sup -/ to the 13.166 MeV level. Compound nucleus formation involving overlap of several resonances appesrs dominant, except for the neutron group to the doublet in /sup 13/N which shows evidence for s direct reaction mechanism.
