Abstract

We have studied the properties of low-lying levels in He7 using the H2(He6,p)He7 reaction at 11.5 MeV/u. This reaction probes the He6g.s.+n character of states in He7. The ground state was populated with a spectroscopic factor comparable to that obtained from ab initio calculations, supporting the tentative spin-parity assignment of 3/2- in the literature. In addition to the ground state, a broad structure is observed between EX=2-3 MeV, the excitation-energy range expected for the 1/2- state in He7. No evidence was found for a lower-lying, first-excited state reported recently.
