The 180182W(t,p) reactions at 15 MeV

The 180W(t,p)182W and 182W(t,p)184W reactions have been studied at 15 MeV bombarding energy. Cross sections and angular distributions were obtained with the use of a Q3D spectrometer. The relative ground band and 2sub(γ)+ cross sections are compared with the systematics for these quantities in heavy deformed nuclei. It is concluded that anomalies in the ratios sigma(2sub(γ)+)/sigma(2sub(g)+) and sigma(4sub(g)+)/sigma(2sub(g)+) noted earlier in the 182W(t,p)184W reaction at 20 MeV persists in the present data, although to a lesser degree.
