Level structure of 32P from 31P(d, p)32P reactions

States up to an excitation energy of 6.8 MeV of the nucleus 32P are investigated by studying the angular distribution of protons in the reaction 31P(d, p)32P. One new state is found at 1.51 MeV. A state previously reported at 6.56 MeV is found to be a doublet with excitation energies 6.58 MeV and 6.53 MeV. The angular distributions for 28 of the stronger levels are fitted with Butler curves, and probable ln values are given for these levels. Relative reduced widths are given for the same levels. The results are discussed in terms of the Nilsson rotational model and the shell model.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/32295/1/0000362.pd
