ReactionAl27(d,p)Al28atEd=23MeV

The reaction ${}_{}{}^{27}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Al}\mathrm{}(d,p)\mathrm{}{}_{}{}^{28}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Al}$ has been investigated at a deuteron energy of 23 MeV. Distorted-wave analyses of the angular distributions for the low-lying states of ${}_{}{}^{28}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Al}$ have been carried out for several sets of optical-model parameters. The spectroscopic factors obtained for states up to 2.66-MeV excitation in ${}_{}{}^{28}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Al}$ are in qualitative agreement with shell-model predictions. It is found, however, that the results of analysis are sensitive to the choice of parameters, and there is difficulty in extracting reliable quantitative spectroscopic information from this reaction without the use of information from other reactions.
