Gamma Radiation from the Reactions 20Ne(a, a´g1.63)20Ne and 20Ne(a, p?0.44)23Na

Abstract

Excitation functions for y-radiation from the reactions ,oNe(a, a'Y1-63)20Ne and 2°Ne( a, pyo.,,)23N a have been studied for bombarding energies from 3·96 to 6·08 MeV. Angular distribution measurements provide spin and parity assignments of 2+ for 24Mg levels at excitation energies of 12·74 and 12· 81 MeV, and 4+ or 5- (possibly 6+) for a level at 12·98 MeV.
