A study of the S levels and the analogue levels of P by the P(He, d)S reaction

The ³¹P(³He, d)³²S reaction has been studied with high resolution at 12 MeV bombarding energy. A detailed level scheme for ³²S has been determined up to an excitation energy of 9.5 MeV revealing several previously unobserved states. The l_p values and absolute spectroscopic factors extracted from a DWBA analysis of the experimental deuteron angular distributions have provided information on the wave functions for the T = 0 states as well as for the T = 1 isobaric analogue states of ³²P. A comparison between the present data and those of previous experiments is made, and the results are discussed in terms of existing theoretical work in this mass region. Information on Coulomb displacement and symmetry energies is also extracted.
