THE $sup 23$Na(p,$gamma$$)$$sup 24$Mg REACTION. PART II

Journal Article · · Nuclear Physics (Netherlands) Divided into Nucl. Phys. A and Nucl. Phys. B

Gamma-ray angular distributions and gamma - gamma angular correlations were measured at six Na/sup 23/(p, gamma )Mg/sup 24/ resonances in the E/sub p/ = 300--800 kev region. Analysis of these data with an electronic computer yields spin and parity assignments: J/sup pi / = 2(/sup +/), 1(/sup +/), 2/sup -/, 3/ sup +/, 3(/sup +/), and 2/su p +/ to the resonances at E/sub p/ = 308, 511, 591, 676, 738, and 743 kev, respectively. The even parities in brackets are regarded as very probable. In each of these cases odd parity would imply the existence of an M2 transition with a strength of at least 0.5 Weisskopf units. The same measurements give J/sup pi / = 21 for the Mg/sup 24/ level at E/sub x/ = 7.35 Mev. Single spectra and gamma - gamma coincidence spectra measured at the weak E/sub p/ = 251 and 374 kev resonances yield the resonance branching ratios. (auth)
