Core Excitation in \u3csup\u3e14\u3c/sup\u3eC and Two-proton Pickup

In two-proton pickup from 14C, the calculated cross-section ratio for the first two 0+ states of 12Be depends on the configuration mixing in these two states and on the amount of core excitation in the ground state (g.s.) of 14C. Using the 12Be wave functions that are reasonably well known, I have calculated this ratio as a function of the core excitation in 14C(g.s.). A measurement of this ratio should allow an independent determination of the 14C mixing—previously estimated to be about 12%

Properties of the Lowest 1/2\u3csup\u3e+\u3c/sup\u3e, \u3cem\u3eT\u3c/em\u3e = 3/2 States in \u3cem\u3eA\u3c/em\u3e = 11 Nuclei

Analysis of energies and widths of the lowest 1/2+ T = 3/2 states in A = 11 nuclei suggests that the excitation energy in 11C should be about 200 keV below the energy in the literature, and the width should be 4 to 5 times the literature value. Properties of the state in 11B and 11N are in agreement with the present model

Properties of 3.89/3.96-MeV states in \u3csup\u3e11\u3c/sup\u3eBe

I have reanalyzed previous data from the 9Be(t,p) reaction to extract energies and widths for the two states near 3.9 MeV. Results are energies of 3889.27 ± 1.03 and 3954.53 ± 1.16 and widths of 3.2(8) and 7.9(7), all in keV, for the 5/2− and 3/2− states, respectively

Kentucky Law Survey: Civil Procedure

This article provides a survey of civil procedure developments in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The most significant civil procedure case decided by the Kentucky Court of Appeals during the period covered by this Survey is Nazareth Literary and Benevolent Institution v. Stephenson. That case, which deals with discovery of privileged communications, may have created problems that will require legislative action. Other decisions by the Court during this period serve to illustrate and amplify existing procedural points. The more important of these decisions will be briefly discussed prior to the consideration of Stephenson

Widths in \u3csup\u3e15\u3c/sup\u3eC and \u3csup\u3e15\u3c/sup\u3eF

Earlier data for the reaction 13C(t,p) have been analyzed to extract widths for several states of 15C. Results affect predictions of widths in 15F

\u3cem\u3eB\u3c/em\u3e(\u3cem\u3eE\u3c/em\u3e2) Value and Configuration Mixing in \u3csup\u3e32\u3c/sup\u3eMg

I demonstrate that the B(E2) value in 32Mg can be understood with a model in which both the ground and 2+ first-excited states are predominantly of sd-shell character

Branching Ratio of \u3csup\u3e18\u3c/sup\u3eNe(7.06 MeV, 4\u3csup\u3e+\u3c/sup\u3e)

The recently reported branching ratio (BR) for the 4+ state in 18Ne at Ex = 7.06 MeV strongly disagrees with the BR computed using the known properties of this state
