Study of the Low-Lying Excited States of Al29 II: Al27(t, pγ)Al29 and Si30(t, αγ)Al29 Angular Correlation Investigation

Abstract
The low-lying excited states of Al29 have been investigated by measuring γ-ray angular correlations in a collinear geometry. The levels were populated in the Al27(t, pγ)Al29 and Si30(t, αγ)Al29 reactions at triton bombarding energies of 2.8 and 2.5 MeV, respectively. The γ-ray branching ratios for states up to 3.7-MeV excitation energy were obtained. Spin assignments, or limits on the spins, for the first six excited states have been deduced on the basis of these data combined with previous results: [Ex, Jπ]; 1.40 MeV, ½+; 1.76 MeV, (½), 32, 52, 72, 2.23 MeV, 32, 52, 72; 2.88 MeV, (32+); 3.07 MeV, (32+), 52+; and 3.19 MeV, (32), 52(), 72(), (92).
