(p,d) Reactions on Silicon Isotopes at 27.3 MeV

Abstract
The neutron pick-up reactions Si29(p,d)Si28 and Si30(p,d)Si29 have been studied at a bombarding proton energy of 27.3 MeV. Several angular distributions were analyzed with the distortedwave Born approximation and the resulting spectroscopic factors and sum rule are given. The results indicate that the neutron configuration of the silicon isotopes contains 1d52, 2s12, and 1d32 components. A small f-wave neutron component has been found in Si30. Strong d52 transitions have been observed to the unresolved doublet (Jπ=3+,2+; T=1) at 9.32 MeV in Si28 and to the (Jπ=52+; T=32) level at 8.32 MeV in Si29. These states are the isobaric analogs to the states of Al28 (0 and 0.031 MeV) and to the ground state of Al29, respectively. The Jπ=4+ state at 4.61 MeV in Si28 was excited in the Si29(p,d)Si28 reaction, indicating target excitation effects in single-nucleon-transfer reactions.
