Magnetic Analysis of theO17(d, p)O18Reaction

Abstract

Separated iostopic targets of ${\mathrm{O}}^{17}$ were used to study the reaction ${\mathrm{O}}^{17}(d, p){\mathrm{O}}^{18}$. The energy spectrum of protons from this reaction has been analyzed at 61.0° and 134.7° to the incident 0.855-Mev deuteron beam, using a double focusing magnetic spectrometer and photographic detection. The survey covers a range of excitation in ${\mathrm{O}}^{18}$ from 0 to 4.8 Mev. Two proton groups were identified with the reaction ${\mathrm{O}}^{17}(d, p){\mathrm{O}}^{18}$, giving $Q_0=5821\mathrm{}\pm 10$ kev and $Q_1=3835\mathrm{}\pm 8$ kev.
