Abstract

An examination of the 99Tc(d, p) 100Tc reaction has been made at an incident deuteron bombarding energy of 15 MeV using the injector-tandem accelerator and the multichannel magnetic spectrograph of the University of Oxford. Angular distributions have been measured for transitions to levels of 100Tc up to an excitation energy of 1.0 MeV. Theoretical (d, p) distributions have been calculated using a DWBA analysis and orbital angular momentum transfers and spectroscopic strengths have been deduced by comparing these calculations with the experimental data. The summed spectroscopic strengths which have been computed for l = 0 and l = 2 (d, p) transitions indicate that the 2 d 5 2 neutron subshell is far from fully occupied and the 3 s 1 2 subshell is essentially unoccupied in the ground state of 99Tc. Excellent agreement has been found between the level scheme of 100Tc resulting from the present (d, p) study and that deduced from a recent investigation of the 99Tc(n, γ) reaction.
