Three-particle transfer on 14N

(3He-α) and (t-α) angular correlations for the reaction processes 14N(6Li, 3He)17O*→(α)13C and 14N(6Li,t)17F*→(α)13N, respectively, are measured at 36 MeV of 6Li beam. High selectivity is observed for the three-particle transfer processes. Structureless angular correlations hinder definite spin and parity assignments. Shell-model calculations are performed for comparison with the experimental data, and this allows tentative spin identification. EFR DWBA calculations are carried out which provide additional confirmation of the spin suggestions. Useful nuclear structure information is obtained for the mass-17 nuclear states. The data show a weak t + 3he clustering in the 6Li ground state. (author)
