The 180,182W(t, p) reactions at 15 MeV

The 180W(t, p)182W and 182W(t, p)184W reactions have been studied at 15 MeV bombarding energy. Cross sections and angular distributions were obtained with the use of a Q3D spectrometer. The relative ground band and 2γ+ cross sections are compared with the systematics for these quantities in heavy deformed nuclei. It is concluded that anomalies in the ratios σ(2γ+)σ(2g+) and σ(4g+)σ(2g+) noted earlier in the 182W(t, p)184W reaction at 20 MeV persist in the present data, although to a lesser degree.
