Abstract
The 2H(82Ge,p)83Ge and 2H(84Se,p)85Se reactions were studied with radioactive beams of 82Ge
and 84Se at beam energies of Ebeam = 330 and 380 MeV, respectively. Excitation energies, proton
angular distributions, and asymptotic normalization coefficients have been determined for the
lowest lying states of 83Ge and 85Se. Spectroscopic factors have also been extracted under normal
assumptions of the bound-state potential properties in the DWBA analysis. However, the peripheral
character of the measurements leads to large uncertainties in this extraction. Shell model calculations
have been performed in the region above 78Ni, comparing the single-particle properties of the
even-Z, N = 51 nuclei up to 91Zr and including 83Ge and 85Se. Direct-semidirect neutron capture
calculations to 83Ge and 85Se have also been performed using the spectroscopic input from these
(d,p) reaction measurements.
