Abstract: | The structure of 26Mg has been investigated by means of the 12C(18O, α) reaction. Several previously unknown states were populated between excitation energies of 0 to 16 MeV. Excitation functions were measured for 126 states for bombarding energies between 43.2 and 45.9 MeV in 300 keV steps at a lab angle of 7°. The experimental energy averaged differential cross sections were compared with statistical model calculations and good agreement was obtained for the states whose spins and parities were previously established. The statistical model calculations were used to suggest the spins and parities for the rest of the states. In particular, candidates for 6+ and 8+ states were interpreted as members of three rotational bands in 26Mg: the ground-state band, the K = 2+ band based on the 2.938 MeV 2+ state, and a K = 0+ band based on the 3.588 MeV 0+ state. Back bending of the yrast band is observed and it is suggested that it may be due to band crossing of the ground-state and first excited K = 0+ bands. |
