PROPERTIES OF SOME ENERGY LEVELS IN PHOSPHORUS-30

Abstract

The excitation function for the Si29 (P, gamma)P30 reaction has been experimentally determined in the proton energy range from 1420 kev through 2160 kev. Unreported resonances in this reaction have been identified at 1975, 2033, 2075, and 2117 kev with estimated errors of plus or minus 4 kev. Gamma spectra at these resonances are obscured by contaminant radiation but suggest complex decay schemes. Double angular correlation measurements have been made at the 1470-kev resonance indicating a resonance level spin of 2+, or less probably, 2- . The level at 4.50 Mev is shown to probably have a spin of 2+, or less probably, 3+ rather than 0+ as has been predicted.
