Spectroscopic studies involving two-step processes in the reactionSi28(d, p)Si29(52+)

Particle-$\gamma$-ray angular correlations have been studied in the ${}_{}{}^{28}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Si}(d, p){}_{}{}^{29}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Si}({\frac{5}{2}}^{+}, 2.03 \mathrm{MeV})$ reaction and subsequent $\gamma$-ray decay to the ${}_{}{}^{29}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Si}$ ground state. The calculated correlations represent the data well near the stripping peak, and show appreciable sensitivity to the details of the two-step reaction processes. This sensitivity allows the determination of structure information about excited core components of the nuclear wave function.
