Location of the (1d5/2)(1d3/2)4+level in18O

Abstract
Absolute cross sections for the 17O(d,p)18O reaction and ratios of cross sections to the 16O(t,p)18O reaction serve to identify a state at 9.0 MeV in 18O as having Jpi =4+ and consisting predominantly of the configuration (1d5/2)(1d3/2). Earlier results for the 16O(t,p)18O reaction are consistent with this conclusion.
