SPIN ASSIGNMENTS IN THE 2p SHELL FROM J DEPENDENCE IN (d,p) ANGULAR DISTRIBUTIONS.

The empirically established $J$ dependence in ($d, p$) angular distributions is used to assign spin values to energy levels in the nuclei ${\mathrm{Ti}}^{47}$, ${\mathrm{Ti}}^{49}$, ${\mathrm{Ti}}^{51}$, ${\mathrm{Cr}}^{51}$, ${\mathrm{Fe}}^{59}$, and ${\mathrm{Ni}}^{65}$\char22{}most of which are populated by $l=1$ ($d, p$) transitions with large cross sections. The results are in general agreement with available nuclear-structure calculations.
