12 C( 7 Li,␣) angular distributions have been obtained for 16 states in 15 N at E( 7 Li)ϭ52.5 MeV. Also, 12 C( 6 Li ជ , 3 He) angular distributions and vector analyzing powers have been measured at E( 6 Li ជ )ϭ50 MeV. Finite-range distorted-wave Born-approximation ͑FRDWBA͒ triton cluster transfer calculations are able to describe the ( 7 Li,␣) data for transfer to states with known J values. Comparison with known levels in 19 F suggests that the 12 C( 7 Li,␣) reaction selectively populates negative parity states. FRDWBA calculations support this idea. Several previously suggested J levels are confirmed and new J values are proposed for six other levels. The previously observed ( 6 Li ជ , 3 He) J dependence has been used along with coupled-channel Born-approximation calculations to confirm the J values for states in 15 N.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
