We have studied the 15C(d,p)16C reaction in inverse kinematics using the Helical Orbit Spectrometer at Argonne National Laboratory. Prior studies of electromagnetic-transition rates in 16C suggested an exotic decoupling of the valence neutrons from the core in that nucleus. Neutron-adding spectroscopic factors give a different probe of the wave functions of the relevant states in 16C. Shell-model calculations reproduce both the present transfer data and the previously measured transition rates, suggesting that 16C may be described without invoking very exotic phenomena.
