Abstract
The 28Si(p,3 He)26Al reaction was utilized for the first time to study the levels in 26Al, using a proton beam
from the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility. Five previously unreported states in 26Al are observed and
discussed, including Distorted Wave Born Approximation analysis. Proton-decay branching ratios consistent
with previous studies and theoretical expectations were found by detecting decay protons from highly excited
26Al states in coincidence with the 3He particles.
