/sup 18/O states via the /sup 14/C(/sup 6/Li,d)/sup 18/O reaction at 34 MeV incident energy

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
The reaction /sup 14/C(/sup 6/Li,d)/sup 18/O is studied at 34 MeV /sup 6/Li incident energy in the 5/sup 0/< or =theta/sub lab/< or =45/sup 0/ angular range in steps of 5/sup 0/. Angular distributions are analyzed in terms of Hauser-Feshbach and exact finite range distorted-wave Born-approximation theories. The direct ..cap alpha..-transfer cross sections are evaluated in both the hypotheses of transfer to pure and mixed configurations. In the mixed configurations case good agreement between experimental and theoretical cross sections is found by using the empirical wave functions of Lawson, Serduke, and Fortune. Alpha-spectroscopic strengths are extracted for /sup 18/O states lying below 17.0 MeV excitation energy. Spins and parities are suggested for the 7.84, 8.9, 12.04, 14.6, and 17.0 MeV /sup 18/O levels. The existence and the structure of a positive-parity /sup 18/O rotational band is investigated.
