“…As an example, the l6O (3He, p ) l S F reaction leading to the 1-70 MeV state, shows a characteristic Zd = 1 Butler shape which would correspond to negative parity for this state (,411en 1959, private communication). hleasurements on the 19F (p, d) l8F reaction (Bennett 1958) together with those on the l60 (3He, py) lSF reaction (Kuehner, Almqvist and Bromley 1958 a) however establish the J" assignment to this state as 1' (Bromley, Kuehner and Almqvist 1958). The situation is similar to that encountered in early (dd') measurements (Middleton and Tai 1952) where, for example, application of Butler formalism to the 2nNe (dd') results, suggested by observation of typical l = 1 angular distributions, suggested negative parity for the first excited state of 'ONe.…”
