The second 132+ state in 19F

A cryogenically pumped gas target has been used to study resonances in the ¹⁵N(α, γ)¹⁹F reaction for E_α = 5.1 to 8.6 Mev. Gamma-ray intensity and angular distribution measurements for a resonance at E_α = 8.105 Mev, corresponding to a state at 10.411 MeV in ¹⁹F, restrict the spin and parity of the state to $\text{11}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$ or $\text{13}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$. Comparison with shell model calculations indicate that the state is a strong candidate for the second $\text{13}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$ (2s, 1d)³ level in ¹⁹F.
