27Al(d,3He)26Mg reaction at 29 MeV

The 27Al(d,3He)26Mg reaction was investigated at 29 MeV incident energy. Observations using a split-pole magnetic spectrograph were made of 65 levels of 26Mg in the range of excitation energy between 0 and 9.7 MeV. These levels can be identified with the known states of 26Mg. Information about the orbital angular momentum (with associated conclusions about J and π) and the single-nucleon spectroscopic factors of about 40 of these 26Mg levels was obtained through distorted-wave Born approximation analyses of measured angular distributions. The excitation energies and spectroscopic factors for positive parity states are compared with the results of a recent, complete sd-shell space, shell-model calculation. New spectroscopic information is extracted from this comparison and from the comparison of the present results with previous knowledge. (K.A.) 23 refs.; 10 figs.; 6 tabs
