Abstract
Angular distributions of deuterons from reactions induced by 17.5-Mev protons on a natural lithium target have been observed at angles less than 50 degrees in the laboratory system. Deuteron groups leaving in its ground state and in states at 2.19 and 3.57 Mev were studied, and the branching ratios were compared with intermediate coupling shell theory. Pure or nearly pure coupling was found to be adequate to explain the observed ratios.
