Level density and -ray strength in<sup>27,28</sup>Si
A method to extract simultaneously level densities and γ-ray transmission coefficients has for the first time been tested on light nuclei utilizing the 28Si(3He,αγ)27Si and 28Si(3He,3He'γ)28Si reactions. The extracted level densities for 27Si and 28Si are consistent with the level densities obtained by counting known levels in the respective nuclei. …
