α decay of excited states in C14
Abstract
Measurements of the C14(C14,C14[Be10+α]) breakup reaction have been made at a beam energy of 98.2 MeV. The studies were performed with two charged-particle telescopes that permitted the energy, mass, charge, and emission angle of each detected particle to be determined. A series of C14 excited states at energies of 14.3, 14.8 15.6, 16.4, 17.3, 18.6, 19.8, 20.6, and 21.6 MeV was observed to decay to either the Be10 ground state or the first excited states. Angular correlation measurements suggest an assignment of Jπ=3- for the 15.6 MeV state.
