Abstract
Angular distributions of neutrons corresponding to transitions to the first (2.31 Mev) and second (3.95 Mev) excited states in the reaction have been measured at an incident deuteron energy of 1.3 Mev. A time-of-flight technique utilizing the associated gamma ray as a trigger was employed to separate the various neutron groups. Because the data, particularly for the first excited state transition, exhibited a relatively large intensity in the backward direction, a simple deuteron-stripping process is not sufficient to account for the results. An analysis which included the heavy-particle stripping mode was consistent with the data.
