| Abstract: | The 16O(6Li, d)20Ne reaction to the 2?, 4.97 MeV, 3?, 5.63 MeV, and 4?, 7.01 MeV members of the Kπ = 2? band has been studied. Angular distributions were measured at 32 MeV from 7.5° to 145° (lab). Excitation functions were measured at 15° (lab) and 145° (lab) from 31 to 33 MeV and 31.75 to 32.5 MeV, respectively. Results of multi-step and compound nuclear calculations are compared to the data. At this incident energy, both mechanisms appear to contribute to the population of the unnatural parity levels. |
