Angular distributions of high spin states produced via <sup>27</sup>Al(α,d)<sup>29</sup>Si

ORAL

Abstract

The investigation of nuclear structure in the mass 16-60 region has provided rich experimental data to test microscopic theory. Previously our group has used the tools and techniques of multi-gamma spectroscopy to chart out the high-spin yrast states in this mass region. It has been shown1 that (α,d) reactions also have a preference for high spin states since the proton and neutron from the deuteron can both occupy the same state of maximal J. I will present work using the FSU Super Engie Split Pole Spectrograph (SE-SPS). Angular distributions for states produced via 27Al(α,d)29Si will be shown for high spin states for the first time. Comparison of these states will be made with the FSU shell model2 interaction.
