Structure of 26Na from the 14C(14C, d) reaction

The 14C(14C, d) reaction at 22 MeV was used to study Tz=2 26Na. Charged particles were detected with a Si detector telescope at 0 deg., and γ transitions in coincidence were detected with an array of three Compton-suppressed 'clover' detectors and seven Compton-suppressed single Ge crystals. The Deuteron-γ and d-γ-γ coincidence data were analyzed to study the structure of 26Na. New levels were found, and precise energies and γ-decay patterns were determined for many states previously observed in charge-exchange reactions. Candidates were observed for the 1+ state missing in β decay. Mixing ratios were determined for some γ transitions from angular distribution information. There is reasonable agreement with the model based on the universal s-d shell (USD) interaction
