Angular Distributions of Protons from the ReactionF19(d, p)F20

Abstract

A Teflon (C${\mathrm{F}}_2$) target was bombarded with 3.6-Mev deuterons from the Rochester 26-inch cyclotron, and the angular distributions of the resulting proton groups were determined using an ionization chamber detector. The following table gives the angular momentum transfer (determined by comparison with the Butler curves) and the cross sections corresponding to the indicated levels in ${\mathrm{F}}^{20}$: These ${\mathrm{F}}^{20}$ states were found to have even parity, and the ground-state spin was determined to be 1.
