Study of the Ne21(t, p)Ne23 reaction

Investigation of the Ne21(t, p)Ne23 reaction with 3 and 3.25 MeV projectiles reveals eight new (energy) levels between Ex=5.3 and 6.5 MeV. Absolute differential cross sections for 18 proton groups are reported. Distorted-wave Born approximation analysis and Hauser-Feshbach calculations indicate that L=0 is involved in the formation of one of the members of the doublets at Ex=3.432-3.458 and 4.995-5.036 MeV as well as in the formation of a new level at 5.74 ± 0.04 MeV. A mixture of L=0 and L=2 transfer is associated with the formation of the 1.822 MeV level. For these four levels Jπ=32+ is deduced.
