Thin targets of Si/sup 30/ were irradiated with 1- to 2.7-Mev, monoenergetic protons from an electrostatic generator. The gamma -ray yield was determined by means of a 3 cm x 2 cm CsI (Tl) crystal equipped with a photomultiplier. The gamma -ray spectrum was taken on a 100-channel coincidence scintillation spectrometer. The angular distribution of the gamma -rays was obtained by measuring the spectra at various angles. The gamma -ray yields indicate well-marked resonances at proton energies of E/sub p/ = 1096, 1205, 1326, 1393, 1402, 1482 and 1516 kev which were investigated in greater detail by measuring the gamma -spectra and angular distribution. A spin of 5/2 is assigned to the 8.352-Mev level at a proton energy of 1096 Mev. The gamma -ray angular distribution had the form W = 1 - 0.5 cos/sup 2/ theta . The results of measuring the gamma -ray angular distributions show that all transitions to the first excited The spins of the 8.46-Mev and 8.575-Mev resonance levels are 5/2 at E/sub p/ = 1393 kev. The spin of the 8.647 excitation level is 3/2 at E/sub p/ = 1402 kev. The 8.725-Mev resonance level is the only level showing a direct gamma -transition to the ground state. Its spin is 3/2 at E/sub p/ = 1482 kev. The spin of the 8.758-Mev resonance level at E/sub p/ = 1516 kev can have a value of 1/2 or 3/2. A diagram for the gamma -transitions between these seven resonance levels in P/sup 31/, and the intensities of the transitions are presented. (TTT)
