Study of theMg26(He3,p)Al28reaction

Abstract

An analysis of the ${}_{}{}^{26}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Mg}({}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He},p){}_{}{}^{28}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Al}$ reaction at a bombarding energy of 18 MeV has enabled the identification of 80 levels in ${}_{}{}^{28}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Al}$ below $E_x=8.65\mathrm{}$ MeV. A distorted-wave analysis of the angular distributions of these transitions has led to unique spin-parity assignments for 8 levels. Limits have been set on the spins and parities of 17 states.
