Abstract

The energy distribution and angular dependence of the alpha-particle groups from the nuclear reaction Al27(d,α)Mg25 have been investigated. A magnetically analyzed beam of 11.1 Mev deuterons was used. Eleven alpha-particle groups were measured, corresponding to ten excited levels in Mg25 at 0.57, 0.96, 1.63, 1.97, 2.74, 3.36, 4.01, 4.81, 5.48, and 5.95 Mev. The ground state Q-value for the reaction was found to be 6.58±0.03 Mev, giving a value for the mass difference Al27-Mg25 of 1.99626±0.00003 mass units. The intensities of all the groups, with the exception of Q2, show marked dependence on the angle of measurement. The average spacing of the levels in Mg25 is 0.6 Mev, and is nearly constant over the range studied.
