Si28(d, He3)Al27Reaction and the Structure ofSi28andAl27

Abstract
The level structure of Al27 from 0- to 6.5-MeV excitation has been studied with the Si28(d, He3)Al27 reaction at Ed=34.4 MeV. Eight experimental angular distributions are presented. Assignments of l values and spectroscopic factors are made with a local, zero-range distorted-wave Born-approximation analysis. The deduced l values are consistent with the known spins of levels of Al27 of excitation energy ≤3.0 MeV. Levels at 4.05- and 5.15-MeV excitation are assigned l=1, and the level at 4.40-MeV excitation is assigned l=2. The extracted spectroscopic factors are discussed in terms of some simple models for Al27 and compared with results from new shell-model calculations.
