Spectroscopic Studies of Molybdenum Isotopes with (d, t) Reactions

The ($d, t$) reactions on ${\mathrm{Mo}}^{94}$, ${\mathrm{Mo}}^{96}$, and ${\mathrm{Mo}}^{100}$ were studied with 17-MeV incident deuterons. The experimental angular distributions of the triton groups were compared with distorted-wave Born-approximation (DWBA) calculations to determine the $l$ values and the spectroscopic factors. The $I^{\pi }$ and excitation energy of the levels found in this study are compared with those from ($d, p$) reactions leading to the same final states. The occupation numbers and single quasiparticle energies are calculated and compared with previous results.
