Data for the (d, eLi) reaction on targets of 24Mg, 2eMg and 2sSi have been obtained at 35 MeV bombarding energy. Angular distributions were measured for low-lying statesin the residual nuclei. Tern-range distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA) calculations have been used to analyze the daJ_a_, The DWBA calculations account for the shapes of the experimental distributions reasonably well. The observation of significant population of unnatural parity states implies, however, that other transfer mechanisms may be important. The experimental spectrmcopic factors are in qualitative agreement with those obtained from SU(3) theory. E ] NUCLEAR REACTIONS "'Mg, "Mg, "8Si(d: eLi), E~ 35 MeV; measured or(0).

The iss. isaDY(3He, d) reactions at EsHe = 46 .5 MeV are analyzed using the coupled channels Born approximation (CCBA) and improved form factors derived from a deformed Woods-Saxon potential. The latter are generated using the coupled channels procedure of Rost.

The ( He, d) and (e, t) stripping reactions on ' Dy and 4Dy have been studied at bombarding energies of 46.5 and 45.5 MeV, respectively. Angular distributions for the (~He, d) reaction were measured over the angular range 0 -35'. The experimental resolution of approximately 15 keV full width at half-maximum was sufficient to permit extraction of l transfers and spectroscopic factors for 32 levels in Ho and ' 5Ho below 1.6 MeV of excitation, using the conventional distorted-wave Born approximation (DM3A). Previous identification from decay studies of the & [523], & [411], and 2'[411] bands in both nuclei, and the & [541] band in Ho, were confirmed. New assignments include the 2 [402] and 2 [514] bands in ' Ho and the & [541] and 2 [660] bands in ' 'Ho. Also the & = -, band beginning at 1056 keV in ' Ho has been identified as the~[402] band, in contradiction to a tentative previous assignment from decay work. A few additional levels were observed which could not be positively identified with predicted Nilsson-model states.These include a level populated by l = 0 transfer and another with l = 2 in each isotope, in the 1.1-1.6-MeV excitation region. The presence of these transitions and their spectroscopic factors suggest fragmentation of the & [400] and possibly the 2' [4021 orbitals. The measured elastic scattering is adequately represented by coupled-channels calculations, but not optical model predictions, when potential parameters derived from the lead region are used. YVith these parameters the DWBA yields spectroscopic factors v hich are in qualitative agreement with Nilsson-model. predictions, although the over-al. l pattern of agreement is somewhat improved if the absolute values are reduced by 30 -40'7o, The measured angular distributions are generally well reproduced by the DWBA except for the transition to the & member of the 2 [541] band in both nuclei. No other indications of possible indirect contributions to the reactions, which have been observed in neutrontransfer reactions at lower energies, were apparent in comparison with DWBA predictions.
