Abstract: An experiment has been performed utilising the 12 C( 7 Li,p) 18 O reaction to populate high-energy states in 18 O. Using the Munich Q3D magnetic spectrograph in conjunction with the Birmingham large-angular-coverage DSSD array, branching ratios have been measured for over fifty states in 18 O, investigating the α -decay, n-decay, 2n-decay and γ -decay branches. In tandem, Monte-Carlo techniques have been used to identify and separate features. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
