Structure of ³³S from a study of the ³⁴S(p, d)³³S reaction at 35 MeV

The ³⁴S(p, d)³³S reaction has been studied at a proton energy of 35 MeV. Deuteron spectra were analyzed in a magnetic spectrograph with an over-all energy resolution, full width at half-maximum, of about 8 keV. Excitation energies were measured for levels in ³³S through 7.5 MeV excitation with an accuracy of ±(1.0 keV + 0.5 keV per 1 MeV of excitation). Values of the orbital angular momenta of neutrons transferred in these transitions, and the corresponding spectroscopic factors, were extracted from the data by means of distorted-wave Born-approximation calculations. Several new J^π=1/2⁺ assignments were made. The experimental results are compared to the predictions of current nuclear structure theories for this nucleus.
