Abstract

The breakup of B-10 has been studied using the Li-7(C-12,B-10*)Be-9 two-nucleon transfer reaction with a 76-MeV C-12 beam incident on a Li2O target. The B-10 excited states were observed to break up into alpha + Li-6, alpha + Li-6(3(+)), Be-8+d, and Be-9+p. Evidence is found for two new states in B-10 at excitation energies of 7.96 +/- 0.07 MeV and 9.58 +/- 0.06 MeV that decay strongly into the alpha + Li-6(3(+)) final state.
