T=32levels inF15andO15

Abstract
The Ne20(He3, Li8) reaction has been used to study the particle-unstable nucleus F15. The ground state of F15 is observed as a broad peak at a mass excess of 16.9±0.2 MeV with a width greater than 900 keV. A well defined narrower peak is observed at a mass excess of 18.088±0.025 MeV and with a width of 240±30 keV. It is shown to be the mirror of the 5/2+ first excited state of C15. The analog of the 5/2+ state was observed in O15 at Ex=12.255±0.013 MeV. This state is shown to proton decay to the T=1 first excited state of N14 and to have a width of 135±15 keV.
