Nuclear structure has to be considered
φ = Iisomer/(I parallel+I isomer) = Iisomer / I total
ρexp=Rexp /φ
ρexp - the probability of populating states with higher spin than the isomer – can be compared with theory!

Conclusions on the reaction mechanism
• Good agreement between experiment and theory (within a factor of 2-3)
• predictions for radioactive beams seems to be possible
