High-spin levels in /sup 39/K excited by the /sup 41/Ca(d,. cap alpha. ) reaction

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
The /sup 41/Ca(d,..cap alpha..)/sup 39/K reaction has been used to investigate the low-lying high-spin states in /sup 39/K. Conflicting spin assignments for the 5.719 MeV level in /sup 39/K of 9/2/sup -/ of 13/2/sup -/ have been suggested in earlier studies. A 1p-2h model reproduces both the /sup 41/Ca(d,..cap alpha..)/sup 39/K and /sup 39/K(..cap alpha..,..cap alpha..')/sup 39/K reaction data leading to the high-spin states if the 5.719 MeV level is assumed to have a J/sup ..pi../ of 13/2/sup -/. An alternate assignment of J/sup ..pi../ = 9/2/sup -/ for this level is shown to produce very poor agreement with the model predictions.
