Excited States ofP32from theP31(d,p)P32Reaction

The ${\mathrm{P}}^{31}\mathrm{}(d,p)\mathrm{}{\mathrm{P}}^{32}$ reaction has been investigated by means of magnetic analysis of the protons emitted from thin targets containing phosphorus bombarded by 1.8- and 2.0-Mev deuterons. Sixteen of the proton groups observed have been assigned to the ${\mathrm{P}}^{31}\mathrm{}(d,p)\mathrm{}{\mathrm{P}}^{32}$ reaction, corresponding to the ground state and fifteen excited states of ${\mathrm{P}}^{32}$, in a region of excitation from zero to 4.3 Mev.
