Structure of $^{19}$O from $^{9}$Be + $^{14}$C
ORAL
Abstract
The $^{9}$Be($^{14}$C, $\alpha$$\gamma$) reaction at E$_{Lab}$=30 and 35 MeV was used to study excited states of $^{19}$O. The Florida State University (FSU) $\gamma$ detector array was used to detect $\gamma$ radiation in coincidence with charged particles detected and identified with a silicon $\Delta$E-E particle telescope. From $\alpha$-$\gamma$-$\gamma$ coincidences five new states of $^{19}$O have been identified and an additional three new $\gamma$ transitions among known states have been observed. An additional previously unobserved state has been marked tentative from $\alpha$-$\gamma$ coincidences. These results are compared to shell model calculations using the USDA, WBP, and PSDU interactions.
