Abstract

An experiment has been performed utilising the ¹²C(⁷Li,p)¹⁸O reaction to populate high-energy states in ¹⁸O. Using the Munich Q3D magnetic spectrograph in conjunction with the Birmingham large-angular-coverage DSSD array, branching ratios have been measured for over fifty states in ¹⁸O, investigating the α-decay, n-decay, 2n-decay and γ-decay branches. In tandem, Monte-Carlo techniques have been used to identify and separate features.
