Abstract

The ${}^{28}\text{Si}{(p{,}^{3}\text{He})}^{26}\text{Al}$ reaction was utilized for the first time to study the levels in ${}^{26}$Al, using a proton beam from the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility. Five previously unreported states in ${}^{26}$Al are observed and discussed, including Distorted Wave Born Approximation analysis. Proton-decay branching ratios consistent with previous studies and theoretical expectations were found by detecting decay protons from highly excited ${}^{26}$Al states in coincidence with the ${}^{3}$He particles.
