Energy Levels of29P,33Cl and41Sc from (d, n) Reactions

Abstract

The time-of-flight technique has been used to study the neutron spectra from the reactions ²⁸Si(d, n)²⁹P, ³²S(d, n)³³Cl and ⁴⁰Ca(d, n)⁴¹Sc. Weak neutron groups have now been resolved which correspond to levels in ²⁹P at 2.42 ± 0.04 and 3.13 ± 0.03 MeV, and in ³³Cl at 2.11 ± 0.06 and 2.53 ± 0.06 MeV. Only one group could be definitely attributed to the ⁴⁰Ca(d, n)⁴¹Sc reaction, and this denotes a level Q-value of - 2.86 ± 0.02 MeV.
