Particle-hole stretched states excited in the /sup 26/Mg(p,n)/sup 26/Al reaction at 134 MeV

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Strong excitation of both (..pi..d/sub 5/2/,..nu..d/sub 5/2//sup -1/) 5/sup +/, 0 (h/2..pi..)..omega.. and (..pi..f/sub 7/2/,..nu..d/sub 5/2//sup -1/) 6/sup -/, 1 (h/2..pi..)..omega.. stretched-state strength is observed in the /sup 26/Mg(p,n)/sup 26/Al reaction at 134.4 MeV. The T = 0, 5/sup +/ strength is observed to be predominantly in the ground state which has 56% of the strength predicted by a distorted-wave impulse approximation calculation that assumes the extreme single-particle-hole model. Another 17% of this strength is observed in a 5/sup +/ state at 3.4 MeV. The 6/sup -/ strength is split into three isospin components: 61% of the extreme single-particle-hole model T = 0, 6/sup -/ strength is observed in three states between 6.9 and 11.0 MeV; 58% of the predicted T = 1 strength is observed in nine states between 9.3 and 16.5 MeV; 27% of the predicted T = 2 strength is observed in a single state at 18.2 MeV. The observed 6/sup -/-state excitation energies are in general agreement with the T = 0 and 1, 6/sup -/ states observed in the /sup 25/Mg(..cap alpha..,t)/sup 26/Al reaction and with the analog T = 1 and 2, 6/sup -/ states in /sup 26/Mg observed in inelastic electron and proton scattering. The total observed 5/sup +/ strength and its distribution are in good agreement with distorted-wave impulse approximation calculations that use full S-D shell-model wave functions.
