S34(p,t)S32reaction

Angular distributions of the ${}_{}{}^{34}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{S}\mathrm{}(p,t)\mathrm{}{}_{}{}^{32}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{S}$ reaction at $E_p=40\mathrm{}$ MeV have been measured for states in ${}_{}{}^{32}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{S}$ up to an excitation energy of 11 MeV. Assignments of the $L$ transfers on the basis of the characteristic shapes of the angular distributions yield several new spin and parity assignments for states in ${}_{}{}^{32}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{S}$. Transitions to several unnatural parity states in ${}_{}{}^{32}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{S}$ were observed with a cross section of about 5 μb/sr. For transitions to the natural parity states distorted-wave analyses based on current shell-model wave functions were performed and compared with the experimental differential cross sections.
