The 14C(α, α')14C and 13C(d,p)14C reactions

The isoscalar transition rates and neutron-stripping probabilities to states of ¹⁴C have been measured using the 35 MeV ¹⁴C(α, α')¹⁴C and 17.7 MeV ¹³C(d, p)¹⁴C reactions. States showing great charge asymmetries in pion scattering at 8.32 MeV (2⁺) and 11.7 MeV (4^?) were examined in detail. Isoscalar transition rates B(02) were determined to be 168, 96 and 74 fm⁴ for the 7.01, 8.32 and 10.45 MeV 2⁺ states, with identical single-neutron spectroscopic factors of 0.065, from the (d, p) data, for the lowest two states.
