A Study of the ²⁷Al(³He, d)²⁸Si Reaction

The energy levels of ²⁸Si have been determined below an excitation energy of 10.37 Mev by magnetic analysis of the deuterons from the ²⁷Al(³He, d)²⁸Si reaction. Angular distributions of several deuteron groups have been measured at incident energies of 5.7 and 9.16 Mev and from a comparison with stripping theory, certain l-value assignments have been made. Evidence is presented favouring the 9.314 and 9.379 Mev levels being respectively the first and second T = 1 states of ²⁸Si.
