Results of Stripping Analysis of theCo59(d, p)Co60Reaction

The MIT-ONR electrostatic generator and broad-range magnetic spectrograph have been used to investigate proton groups produced by bombarding thin cobalt targets with 6.0-Mev deuterons. The angular distributions of the twenty-eight most intense proton groups corresponding to as many levels in ${\mathrm{Co}}^{60}$ were analyzed in terms of stripping theory to determine the orbital angular momentum of the captured neutron. The $Q$ values of the ($d, p$) reaction were measured for sixty levels of ${\mathrm{Co}}^{60}$. The ground-state $Q$ value was found to be 5.262±0.011 Mev.
