Abstract

From a study of the /sup 17/O(/sup 6/Li,d) reaction at 32 MeV, angular distributions and ..cap alpha..-particle spectroscopic strengths have been extracted for states below 4.6-MeV excitation in /sup 21/Ne. The 5/2/sup +/ state at 0.35 MeV is populated largely via L = 0, and fice states with J/sup ..pi../ from 1/2/sup +/ to 9/2/sup +/ largely via L = 2. These results are in reasonable agreement with predictions of SU(3) shell-model calculations and at the same time are suggestive of a simple weak-coupling picture. Observation of L = 0 for the transition to the 4.52-MeV level, previously assigned 3/2/sup +/ or 5/2/sup +/, allows a definite assignment of J/sup ..pi../ = 5/2/sup +/.
