Abstract
States in N have been populated in the neutron-adding reaction on the short-lived N beam. Previously observed levels, found in this work at excitation energies of 0.12(1) MeV and 0.74(1) MeV, have been identified as those expected from a proton hole coupled to the O ground state. A new state at 1.17(2) MeV is consistent with the coupling of the proton-hole state to the excited state in O. Orbital angular momentum assignments and spectroscopic factors were determined from the measured angular distributions through a distorted wave Born approximation analysis. Systematics for the neutron configurations in the isotones, C, N, and O are discussed and comparisons to - shell-model calculations are made.
