Study ofRh101with the (p, t) reaction

The ${}_{}{}^{103}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Rh}(p, t){}_{}{}^{101}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Rh}$ reaction has been studied at bombarding energies of 17, 30, and 42 MeV. The 30 MeV data, which was taken with a quadrupole-dipole-dipole-dipole magnet QDDD, provided the most information on the ${}_{}{}^{101}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Rh}$ spectrum. The ($p, t$) reaction is apparently exciting ${}_{}{}^{101}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Rh}$ states which look like a $2p_{\frac{1}{2}}$ proton weakly coupled to states of the ${}_{}{}^{100}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ru}$ core. This is suggested by the multiplet structure observed up to about 1 MeV of excitation. Considerable ($p, t$) strength is observed above 2 MeV of excitation but multiplet structure is not so apparent. Although two of the strong states above 2 MeV may carry expected $L=3\mathrm{}$ ($p, t$) strength, the others are more surprising.
