The ²⁷Al(d, α)²⁵Mg Reaction at Low Energies

Abstract

The ²⁷Al(d, α)²⁵Mg reaction has been studied over the energy range E_d=2.40–2.90 MeV. The relative integrated cross sections agree well with those predicted by the Hauser-Feshbach theory for the states of known spin. Probable spins have been deduced for the 10th, 12th and 13th excited states of the ²⁵Mg nucleus. The spin cut-off parameter value in this reaction has been obtained to be σ²≈9.
