Title: Survey of the (. cap alpha. ,/sup 2/He) reaction on 1p- and 2s1d-shell nuclei

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)

A /sup 2/He detection system has been developed and used to investigate the (..cap alpha..,/sup 2/He) reaction at bombarding energies of 55 and 65 MeV on targets of /sup 12/C, /sup 13/C, /sup 14/N, /sup 15/N, /sup 16/O, /sup 18/O, /sup 20/Ne, /sup 22/Ne, /sup 24/Mg, /sup 26/Mg, /sup 28/Si, /sup 29/Si, /sup 32/S, /sup 36/Ar, /sup 38/Ar, and /sup 40/Ca. Preferential population of two-neutron states with dominant (d/sub 5/2/)/sup 2//sub 4/, (d/sub 3/2/f/sub 7/2/)/sub 5/, and (f/sub 7/2/)/sup 2//sub 6/ character was observed. A linear A dependence of the binding energies of the J/sup ..pi../ = 5/sup -/ and 6/sup +/ states was obtained. This systematic behavior is well described by the Bansal-French model, using the parameters a = - 0.30 MeV and b = 2.6 MeV. Simple shell-model calculations for the 2n configurations are in good agreement with the experimental data.
