Experiments on nuclear structure

Thesis

Magnetic deflection techniques have been employed to measure proton angular distributions from some (d,p) and (t,p) reactions. In many cases the distributions exhibit typical stripping patterns and their analysis in terms of plane wave and distorted wave theories of stripping has enabled spin and parity assignments to be made for a number of excited nuclear levels. These theories are briefly outlined in Chapter 1 of this thesis and the experimental procedures are described in Chapter 2.
