The 12C(d, n)13N reaction has been studied in the region of the 4 MeV resoance. Measured excitation and angular distribution curves have been analysed on the assumption that the reaction proceeds principally in two modes, one resonant, the other non-resonant. The total reaction amplitude is written as the sum of a stripping theory and a amplitude resonnance amplitude having a Breit-Wigner denominator. Satisfactory fits to the experimental data are obtained with a resonance energy of 4.02 MeV and a level width of about 235 keV. The analysis shows that the resonant state probably has spin 1 with even parity. The relationship of these results to others bearing on this level and the possible nature of the level are both discussed.
