Magnetic Analysis of theMg25(d,p)Mg26,Mg26(d,p)Mg27, andMg25(d,α)Na23Reactions

Abstract

Targets of magnesium oxide, enriched in ${\mathrm{Mg}}^{25}$ and ${\mathrm{Mg}}^{26}$ content, have been bombarded by 1.8-Mev deuterons. Proton and alpha-particle groups observed at an angle of 90 degrees to the incident beam have been studied with a high-resolution magnetic spectrograph. Eleven proton groups have been assigned to the ${\mathrm{Mg}}^{25}\mathrm{}(d,p)\mathrm{}{\mathrm{Mg}}^{26}$ reaction; two proton groups were assigned to the ${\mathrm{Mg}}^{26}\mathrm{}(d,p)\mathrm{}{\mathrm{Mg}}^{27}$ reaction; and three alpha-particle groups were attributed to the ${\mathrm{Mg}}^{25}(d,\alpha ){\mathrm{Na}}^{23}$ reaction. The $Q$-values for the ground-state transitions are 8.880±0.010, 4.207±0.006, and 7.019±0.013 Mev, respectively.
