Title: Reexamination of the Energy Levels of 15F by 14O + 1H ElasticResonance Scattering with BEARS

Abstract

The energy levels of 15F have been measured by the p(14O,p)14O reaction. The 120 MeV 14O radioactive ion beam was produced by the BEARS coupled cyclotron system at an intensity averaging 1x104 particles/second on target. Energy calibration was obtained using resonances from the p(14N,p)14N reaction. The two lowest resonances in 15F were fitted with an R-matrix calculation. The fit to the ground state had Jp = 1/2+ at 1.23+-0.05 MeV (width 0.5-0.84 MeV), and the first excited state was Jp=5/2+ at 2.81+-0.02 MeV (width 0.30+-0.06 MeV), both relative to the mass-energy of the proton and 14O. The 15F ground state energy supports the disappearance of the Z=8 proton magic number for odd Z, Tz=-3/2 nuclei.
