Abstract:
The reaction 56Fe(d, p)57Fe is investigated at 12 MeV using the Aldermaston multi-channel magnetic spectrograph. The angular distributions of protons leading to various states in 57Fe upto an excitation of 6.7 MeV are measured over an angular range 5°–175°. The data are analysed with the distorted wave Born approximation calculations; a satisfactory agreement is found in most cases upto about 100°. Spin, parity and the spectroscopic factors for various states are obtained and the positions of the single-quasiparticle energies determined. The results are compared with those for the isotonic nuclei 55Cr and 59Ni and with the pairing theory.
