Structure of {sup 26}Na from the {sup 14}C({sup 14}C, d) reaction

The {sup 14}C({sup 14}C, d) reaction at 22 MeV was used to study T{sub z}=2 {sup 26}Na. Charged particles were detected with a Si detector telescope at 0 deg., and {gamma} transitions in coincidence were detected with an array of three Compton-suppressed 'clover' detectors and seven Compton-suppressed single Ge crystals. The Deuteron-{gamma} and d-{gamma}-{gamma} coincidence data were analyzed to study the structure of {sup 26}Na. New levels were found, and precise energies and {gamma}-decay patterns were determined for many states previously observed in charge-exchange reactions. Candidates were observed for the 1{sup +} state missing in {beta} decay. Mixing ratios were determined for some {gamma} transitions from angular distribution information. There is reasonable agreement with the model based on the universal s-d shell (USD) interaction.
