Energy Levels of²⁹P,³³Cl and⁴¹Sc from (d, n) Reactions

Abstract

The time-of-flight technique has been used to study the neutron spectra from the reactions 28Si(d, n)29P, 32S(d, n)33Cl and 40Ca(d, n)41Sc. Weak neutron groups have now been resolved which correspond to levels in 29P at 2.42 ± 0.04 and 3.13 ± 0.03 MeV, and in 33Cl at 2.11 ± 0.06 and 2.53 ± 0.06 MeV. Only one group could be definitely attributed to the 40Ca(d, n)41Sc reaction, and this denotes a level Q-value of - 2.86 ± 0.02 MeV.
