Distorted-Wave Analysis of theC13(He3,d)Reaction Leading to Unbound Levels ofN14

Distorted-wave calculations are compared with data from the ${}_{}{}^{13}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}({}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He},d){}_{}{}^{14}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{N}$ reaction leading to proton-unbound levels at $E_x=7.966\mathrm{}$ MeV ($2^{\pm }$, $T=0\mathrm{}$), 8.489 MeV ($4^{-}$, $T=0\mathrm{}$), 8.617 MeV ($0^{+}$, $T=1\mathrm{}$), and 8.907 MeV ($3^{-}$, $T=1\mathrm{}$). Results show appreciable nondirect components for population of the $4^{-}$ and $0^{+}$ states. The 7.966-MeV state is suggested to have positive parity, and a definite prediction is made for its width. The spectroscopic factor for the $3^{-}$, $T=1\mathrm{}$ state approaches unity, in good agreement with theoretical calculations.
