High-resolution study of the 118Sn(d, p)119Sn reaction at 17 MeV

Energy levels in 119 Sn up to 4.75 MeV excitation have been studied with the 118 Sn(d, p) 119 Sn reaction at an incident deuteron energy of 17 MeV. The scattered particles were analysed by a magnetic spectrograph and detected in nuclear emulsions with a resolution of ≈ 9 keV. Seventyseven energy levels were identified. Angular distributions were compared to DWBA predictions allowing the identification of transferred angular momenta and the determination of spectroscopic factors for 49 states. The results obtained are compared with pairing theory and the weakcoupling model.
