Abstract
The 90 differential cross section of the 13C(d, γ0)15N reaction has been measured at deuteron energies from Ed = 2.90 to 9.95 MeV in steps of 200 keV. Angular distributions have been obtained at Ed = 3.28, 3.96, 4.30, 4.76, 5.32, 5.92, 6.23, 6.63 and 7.94 MeV. The γ-rays have been detected with a 23 cm long by 23 cm diameter NaI(Tl) crystal spectrometer enclosed in a plastic scintillator anticoincidence shield. The γ-ray yield curve decreases monotonically with energy and shows a resonant behaviour at Ed = 6.65 MeV (Ex = 21.9 MeV) and a wide structure at Ed = 8.8 MeV(Ex ≈ 23.8 MeV). The angular distributions are consistent with the hypothesis that states with quantum numbers Jπ = 12+and32+ are excited in the capture process followed by emission of E1 radiation. There is also evidence of M1/E2 transitions over the whole energy region investigated.
