Band structures in 98Ru and 99Ru

The level schemes of ^{98, 99}Ru were studied with the reactions ⁹⁸Mo(α, 3nγ) and ⁹⁸Mo(α, 4nγ) at E_α = 35 to 55 MeV, using a large variety of in-beam γ-ray detection techniques and conversion-electron measurements. A search for the 3^? state was carried out with the reaction ⁹⁸Ru(p, p′). The ground-state band of ⁹⁸Ru was excited up to J^π = (12)⁺ and a negative-parity band up to (15)^?. New levels in ⁹⁸Ru were found at E_x = 2285 (J^π = 4⁺), 2435 (J^π = (3^?, 4⁺)), 2671, 3540, 4224, 4847, 4915 (J^π = (12)⁺), 4989 (J^π = (12⁺)), 5521 (J^π = (13)^?), 5889, 6591 (J^π = (15)^?), and 7621 keV. New unambiguous spin and parity assignments were made for the levels at E_x = 2014 and 3852 keV, as J^π = 3⁺ and 9^?, respectively. New levels in ⁹⁹Ru were found at E_x = 1976, 2021 ($\text{J}{}^{\mathrm{\pi }}\text{= (}\text{15}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{)}$), 2393, 2401 ($\text{J}{}^{\mathrm{\pi }}\text{= (}\text{17}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{)}$), 2875 (π = (+)), 3037, 3201 ($\text{J}{}^{\mathrm{\pi }}\text{= (}\text{23}\text{2}\text{)}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$), 3460 ($\text{J = (}\text{17}\text{2}\text{)}$), 3484 ($\text{J}{}^{\mathrm{\pi }}\text{= (}\text{21}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{)}$), 3985, 4224 ($\text{J}{}^{\mathrm{\pi }}\text{= (}\text{27}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{)}$), and 5359 keV. The 1070 keV, $\text{J}{}^{\mathrm{\pi }}\text{=}\text{11}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ level in ⁹⁹Ru has a half-life of 2.8 ns. A strongly excited negative-parity band is built on this level. A positive-parity band based on the ground state was excited up to $\text{J}{}^{\mathrm{\pi }}\text{= (}\text{21}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{)}$. The level schemes are well reproduced by the interacting boson model in the vibrational limit.     

Désintégration β− de 30Al

Gamma rays following the β^? decay of ³⁰Al have been investigated with a Ge(Li) detector. The ³⁰A1 sources were produced by fast neutron bombardment of an enriched ³⁰Si sample. Evidence for two previously unreported β^? branches has been deduced. The existence of allowed β^? transitions to J^π = 2⁺and 3⁺ states and to the J^π = 4⁺ level at 5.95 MeV determines $\text{J}{}^{\mathrm{\pi }}\text{= 3}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$ for the ³⁰Al ground state $\text{(T}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{= 3.56 ± 0.02 s)}$. These results are compared to a recent shell-model calculation.     

A new level of 18F

A new $\text{T = 0 level of}{}^{18}\text{F, E}{}_{\mathrm{x}}\text{= 4848.3 ± 0.5}\text{keV}$, has been studied using the ⁶Li(¹⁶O, αγ)¹⁸F reaction. The γ-decay by a 65 ± 4 % branch to the 1121 keV (5⁺) level and 35 ± 4 % to the 3791 keV (3^?) level has been observed and a lifetime limit τ > 2 ps has been given. A tentative assignment J^π = 5^? is proposed which is supported by the α-γ angular correlation measurements. The possible structure of the new level and reasons why it had not been observed in past experiments are discussed.     

The 7Li(d, n0)8Be reaction with polarized 800 keV deuterons

The analysing power of the ${}^7\text{Li}\text{(}\text{d}\text{, n}{}_0\text{)}{}^8\text{Be}$ reaction for vector and tensor polarization of an 800 keV deuteron beam, as well as the relative cross section for the unpolarized beam were measured at 7 to 9 angles between 0° and 160°, using a thick target. Analysis in terms of (l, s, J^π) matrix elements shows that two intermediate states with $\text{J}{}^{\mathrm{\pi }}\text{=}\text{3}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$ and $\text{J}{}^{\mathrm{\pi }}\text{=}\text{5}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ present, strongly interfering with each other. Assignments to known ⁹Be levels and to threshold resonances as suggested by Hackenbroich and Seligman are briefly discussed. The magnitude of the vector analysing power makes the reaction interesting as a monitor for the vector polarization of low-energy deuteron beams.     

Study of the three-proton three-neutron-hole nucleus 208At

Levels in ²⁰⁸At were populated in the ²⁰⁹Bi(α, 5n) reaction, and the subsequent radiation was studied using γ-spectroscopic methods including γ-ray excitation function and angular distribution, γγ(t) coincidence and γt measurements, as well as measurements of conversion electrons. The excited spectrum of ²⁰⁸At is found to consist of two almost disconnected parts which are proposed to originate from seniority-three proton and neutron cascades. Two isometric states are observed. A $\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{= 45 ± 2}\text{ns}$ state at 1090 keV is proposed to have the main configuration and J^π = 10^?. A high-spin isomer with $\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{= 1.5 ± 0.2 μs at 2276}\text{keV}$ is assigned to be the state. Shell-model arguments are used to assign configurations to most of the observed levels. Transition rates are discussed.     

The measurement of the rotational relaxation times of OCS from the nutation signals

The time dependence of microwave absorption was measured for the J = 2-1 and J = 3-2 transitions of OCS under on- and off-resonant conditions utilizing Stark and source modulation, respectively. The two effective pressure parameters obtained under the two conditions, which correspond to $\text{(T}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{+ T}{}_1{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{)}\text{4πP}$ and $\text{(2πT}{}_2\text{P)}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$, respectively, according to the Bloch equation, are different beyond experimental error; the difference $\text{(T}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{? T}{}_1{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{)}\text{2πP}$ is 0.94 ± 0.38 (2.5σ) MHz/Torr for J = 2?1. This difference was also determined to be 1.19 ± 0.30 MHz/Torr from the dependence of the nutation frequency on the microwave power.     

Lifetime and g-factor results for the 132− 1985 keV level in 91Nb and the 152− 2288 keV level in 91Zr

Lifetime and g-factor measurements have been made with pulsed beam-γ time-differential techniques using the ⁸⁹Y(α, 2n)⁹¹Nb and ⁸⁸Sr(α, n)⁹¹Zr reactions. A mean lifetime τ = 14.4 ± 0.5 nsec and a g-factor of 1.26 ± 0.04 were obtained for the $\text{13}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ 1985 keV level in ⁹¹Nb and τ = 41.9 ± 1.2 nsec and g = 0.70 ± 0.01 were obtained for the $\text{15}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ 2288 keV level in ⁹¹Zr. These results are compared to theoretical calculations for $\text{(π}\text{g}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>9</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^2\text{(π}\text{p}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}$ and $\text{(π}\text{g}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>9</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)(π}\text{p}\text{1}\text{2}\text{)(v}\text{d}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>5</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}$ configurations in ⁹¹Nb and ⁹¹Zr, respectively.     

The 85Rb(p,d)84Rb reaction

The spectrum seen in single neutron pickup leading to the doubly odd nucleus ⁸⁴Rb is remarkably clean, with only five levels populated by l = 4 and six by l = 1 transitions. A simple 2J+1 weighting for the l = 4 data, combined with previous information on ⁸⁴Rb, allowed the J^π = 2^?–7^? states of the ($\text{v}\text{g}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>9</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{?3}}\text{? π}\text{f}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>5</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{?3}}$) multiplet to be identified. These data are used to determine the two-hole $\text{π}\text{f}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>5</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{-v}\text{g}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>9</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ interaction matrix elements.     

The level structure of 156Gd studied by means of the (α, 2nγ) reaction

A complete set of conventional γ-ray spectroscopic techniques has been applied to investigate the level structure of ¹⁵⁶Gd. A total of twenty-five new levels has been established; unambiguous spin assignments could be given for twelve of them on the basis of angular distributions and conversion electron measurements. The proposed level scheme contains 49 levels, which can be ordered in seven rotational bands. The ground-state band was excited up to J^π = 14⁺, the β-band up to 10⁺, the γ-band up to (11⁺), the second K^π = 0⁺ band tentatively up to (10⁺), the K^π = 4⁺ band up to (8⁺). Two negative-parity bands, one with even spins and one with odd spins, were excited to J^π = (12^?) and (13^?). An isomeric state was established with $\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{= 1.3 μs, J}{}^{\mathrm{\pi }}\text{= 7}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{, E}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>x</mtext>}}\text{= 2137.7}\text{keV}$. The properties of the K^π = 4⁺ band and the isomeric state can be well explained by two-quasiparticle configurations. The negative-parity bands are interpreted as aligned octupole bands. Positive and negative-parity bands have been calculated in terms of the IBA model. Good agreement with the experimental results is obtained.     

12C(7Li,t)16O and stellar helium fusion

The reaction ¹²C(⁷Li, t)¹⁶O has been studied at $\text{E(}{}^7\text{Li}\text{) = 34}\text{MeV}$ with the LASL tandem accelerator and QDDD magnetic spectrometer. Angular distributions to levels with E_x < 11 MeV have been obtained from 0° to 90°, including 0°. The results have been analyzed with finite-range distorted-wave Born approximation theory. The α-particle spectroscopic factors and reduced widths obtained are compared with those calculated with group theory (SU(3)) and other models. The analysis of data for the 7.1 and 9.6 MeV J^π = 1^? levels, which are of great importance in stellar helium buring, yields a ratio, R, of dimensionless reduced α-widths $\text{θ}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>a</mtext>}}\text{(7.1}\text{MeV}\text{)}\text{θ}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>a</mtext>}}\text{(9.6}\text{MeV}\text{)}\text{= 0.35b ± 0.13}$. The observed line width of the 9.6 MeV level (Γ_c.m. = 390 ± 60 keV) is less than the accepted value (Γ_c.m. = 510 ± 60 keV) and implies θ²_a(9.6 MeV) ≈ 0.6. These results as well as data for the 6.92 MeV J^π = 2⁺ and 10.35 MeV J^π = 4⁺ “α-cluster” states indicate 0.09 < θ²_a(7.1 MeV) < 0.33 with a mean value θ²_a(7.1 MeV) = 0.14 ± 0.04. The implication for stellar helium burning is discussed.     

Spin-parity assignments for 66Cu levels via the 68Zn(d, α)66Cu reaction

The ⁶⁸Zn($\text{d}$, α)⁶⁶Cu reaction populating low-lying states in ⁶⁶Cu has been studied at θ_lab = 4° using deuteron beams in the energy range 9.0 to 10.5 MeV. Tensor analyzing powers were calculated and natural- or unnatural-parity assignments were made for thirteen states in ⁶⁶Cu. By combining these results with existing limits unambiguous J^π assignments of 2⁺, 2⁺, 2⁺ and 1⁺ have been made for the levels at 186, 465, 822 and 1344 keV respectively. The previous tentative assignments to seven other levels have been confirmed while that for the 1247 keV level has been shown to be incorrect. The identification of the quartet of levels based on the $\text{π(}\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)v(}\text{f}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>5</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}$ configuration has been confirmed.     

Decay of the mirror nuclide 45V

The β⁺ decay of ⁴⁵V $\text{(J}{}^{\mathrm{\pi }}\text{, T=}\text{7}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{,}\text{1}\text{2}\text{)}$ has been observed. The half-life was found to be 539 ± 18 ms; in addition to the superallowed transition to the mirror state (⁴⁵Ti ground state), it exhibits a (4.3 ± 1.5)% allowed branch to the $\text{5}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ state at 40.1 keV in ⁴⁵Ti. Decay data for the complete $\text{f}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>7</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ shell series of mirror nuclei are presented.     

Experimental results on J/ψ production by π±, K±, p and p incident on hydrogen at 39.5 GeV/c

J/ψ production at 40 GeV/c by π^±, K^±, p and $\text{p}$ incident on hydrogen has been studied and results compared with those obtained on tungsten in the same experiment. On hydrogen, J/ψ cross-section ratios relative to π^? have been measured to be (for $\text{x}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>F</mtext>}}\text{> 0) σ(π}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{) : σ(π}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{) : σ(}\text{p}\text{) : σ(}\text{p}\text{) = 1 : (0.78 ± 0.09) : (0.83 ± 0.35) : (0.07 ± 0.04)}$. The suppression of the proton induced cross sections shows the importance of calence quark-antiquark fusiin J/ψ production at this energy (i.e. M_J²/_ψ/s=0.13).     

Nuclear levels in 238Np

Low and high energy spectra from thermal neutron capture in ²³⁷Np have been studied over the energy ranges 25 to 650 keV and 2600 to 5500 keV. Primary transitions from neutron capture in four resonances have been observed between about 4800 and 5400 keV. Using 12 MeV deuterons, (d, p) spectra at three angles have been observed with a magnetic spectrograph. A nuclear level scheme for ²³⁸Np has been constructed by combining the results of the above measurements with previous data from a study of the ^242mAm α-decay. The Nilsson model has been used to interpret the level structure. Including results from the previous α-decay study, nine rotational bands can be assigned. The Nilsson configurations (K^π [Nn₃ΛΣ]) and band-head energies are: 2⁺π[642↑]?ν[631↓], 0.0 keV; 3⁺π[642↑]+ν[631↓], 86.6 keV; 3^?π[523↓]+ν[631↓], 136.0 keV; 2^?π[523↓]?ν[631↓], 182.8 keV; 5⁺π[642↑]+ν[622↑], 278.1 keV; 0⁺π[642↑]?ν[622↑], 332.5 keV; 5^?π[523↓]+ν[622↑], 342.6 keV; 0^?π[523↓]?ν[622↑], 286.0 keV; 6^?π[642↑]+ν[743↑], 301 keV. The measured (d, p) reaction cross sections are compared with theoretical calculations based on these assignments. The Gallagher-Moszkowski rule is found to be valid in the four cases where we have observed both parallel and antiparallel coupled bands with $\text{K}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{= Ω}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>p</mtext>}}\text{+Ω}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>n</mtext>}}$ and $\text{K}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{= |Ω}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>p</mtext>}}\text{?Ω}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>p</mtext>}}\text{|}$. The lowest levels of the two K = 0 bands have spin I = 1; Newby odd-even shifts can be determined in both cases.     

Electromagnetic transitions in 51Mn

The nuclear structure of ⁵¹₂₅Mn was studied by γ-ray spectroscopy in the ⁵⁴Fe(p, α)⁵¹ Mn reaction (E_p = 9.0–13.2 MeV) and the ¹⁴N+³⁹K, ¹⁶O+⁴⁰Ca and ¹⁴N+⁴⁰Ca fusion-evaporation reactions (E_beam = 36 MeV). In the ⁵⁴Fe(p, αγ)⁵¹Mn reaction γ-rays were detected in coincidence with α-particles emitted near 180°; mean lifetimes and γ-ray mixing and branching ratios were deduced from Doppler shift attenuation and α-γ angular correlation measurements, respectively. Definite spin assignments are: 237 and 2416 keV, $\text{J}{}^{\mathrm{\pi }}\text{=}\text{7}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$; 1140 keV, $\text{9}\text{2}$^?; 1488 keV, $\text{11}\text{2}$^?; 1825 and 2140 keV, $\text{3}\text{2}$^?. The results for other states below 3 MeV are consistent with the existence of rotational bands (/kh²/2/OI/t~ 95 keV) built on the ($\text{3}\text{2}$⁺) 1817 keV and $\text{1}\text{2}$⁺ 2276 keV hole states. The various measurements together with an earlier value for the lifetime of the first-excited state determine unambiguously the B(M1) and B(E2) values for all of the decay branches of the $\text{7}\text{2}$^?, $\text{9}\text{2}$^? and $\text{11}\text{2}$^? lowest three excited states. From the γ-singles and γ-γ coincidence observations with fusion-evaporation reactions, the yrast cascade proceeds through these three states and higher states at 2957, 3250,3680 and 4139 keV which are suggested to have $\text{J}{}^{\mathrm{\pi }}\text{=}\text{13}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$, $\text{15}\text{2}$^?,$\text{15}\text{2}$^? and $\text{19}\text{2}$^?, respectively. The various experimental results for the $\text{5}\text{2}$^? → ($\text{19}\text{2}$^?) yrast states are in good overall agreement with shell-model calculations in the (f_{$\text{7}\text{2}$}¹ space.     

The γ-decay of the g92 analogue state in 59Cu

An investigation of the γ-decay of the $\text{1}\text{g}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>9</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ analogue state in ⁵⁹Cu has been performed using the ⁵⁸Ni(p, γ)⁵⁹Cu reaction. The (p, γ) excitation function has been taken in the range E_p = 3450–3650 keV. The decay schemes of the (p, γ) resonances at E_p = 3483, 3532 and 3547 keV, measured with Ge(Li) detectors, lead to eight new levels in ⁵⁹Cu with excitation energies between 1.8 and 4.7 MeV and to spin assignments of several states. The spins of the first two resonances are found to be ($\text{1}\text{2}$, $\text{3}\text{2}$) and ($\text{5}\text{2}$). The spin of the E_p = 3547 keV resonan is, from angular distributions, uniquely determined to be $\text{J}{}^{\mathrm{\pi }}\text{=}\text{9}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$ and this state is found to be the unfragmented analogue state of the $\text{E}{}^1\text{= 3.062}\text{MeV}$, $\text{J}{}^{\mathrm{\pi }}\text{=}\text{9}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$ parent state in ⁵⁹Ni. The measured complete decay scheme of this resonance shows that its isovector M1 decay is in disagreement with all existing theoretical predictions.     

The 52Cr(t,p)54 reaction at Et = 15 MeV

Using the ⁵²Cr(t, p)⁵⁴Cr reaction at a bombarding energy of 15 MeV, excitation energies have been measured for 30 levels up to E_x = 5.583 MeV in ⁵⁴Cr. Angular distributions were obtained for all but one of these levels; these have been compared with distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA) calculations to determine the L-transfer (and hence J^π). The measured cross sections have been compared to the predictions of DWBA calculations that use two-neutron transfer amplitudes from a shell-model calculation with the active neutrons restricted to the $\text{(2}\text{p}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{,}\text{If}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>5</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{, 2}\text{p}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}$ orbitals.     

Beta decay studies in the vicinity of 13250Sn82: Excited states in 13051Sb, 13052Te and 13252Te

Using the OSIRIS on-line isotope separator facility, the decays of ¹³⁰Sn and ^{130, 132}Sb have been studied. On the basis of singles γ and γ-γ coincidence Ge(Li) spectra and conversion electron Si(Li) measurements, level schemes for ¹³⁰Sb, ¹³⁰Te and ¹³²Te have been constructed. The corresponding half-lives have been measured using multiscaling technique. The 3.8 min ground state of ¹³⁰Sn populates only positive parity states in the πν^?3 nucleus ¹³⁰Sb: the energetically lowest 5⁺ state with the $\text{(π1}\text{g}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>7</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{, ν2}\text{d}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}$ configuration assignment; the $\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{= 3.6 ± 0.3}\text{ns}\text{4}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$ state at 70.0 keV; the 2⁺ state at 262.5 keV; the (0, 1)⁺ state at 697.2 keV; the 3⁺ state at 813.1 keV and the 1⁺ state at 1042.3 keV excitation energy. A 1.7 min isomeric state in ¹³⁰Sn, with the tentative spin assignment (7^?), populates several odd parity levels in ¹³⁰Sb. These arise from the $\text{(π1}\text{g}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>7</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{, ν1}\text{h}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>11</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}{}^{-1}\text{)}$ and/or $\text{(π2}\text{d}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>5</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{, ν1}\text{h}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>11</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}{}^{-1}\text{)}$ configurations and are located 84.7 keV (6^?), 144.9 keV (7^?), 688.5 keV and 1044.0 keV above the 40 min 8^? β- decaying state. No transitions between odd and even parity states have been observed.The most important excited states in ¹³⁰Te found in the β^? decay of the 6.6 min ¹³⁰Sb 5⁺ state are: 839.4 keV, 2⁺; 1632.8 keV, 4⁺; 1815.1 keV, 6⁺; 2100.8 keV, 5^?.Levels in the π²ν^?2 nucleus ¹³²Te were observed in the β^? decays of the 2.8 min ¹³²Sb (4⁺) and the 4.2 min ¹³²Sb (8^?) states. Unique spin and parity assignments have been given to the following states: 973.9 keV, 2⁺; 1670.7 keV, 4⁺; 1774.1 keV, 6⁺; 1924.7 keV, 7^?; 2053.0 keV, 5^?.     

A determination of the spin of the hypernucleus 12ΛB: (II). A complete analysis

The probability distribution calculated for the decay sequence ${}^{12}{}_{\mathrm{\Lambda }}\text{B(g.s.) →}{}^{12}\text{C}{}^1\text{π}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{→ αααπ}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ passing through the (J^P_N) = (2⁺, 1) intermediate state ¹²C¹ (16.11 MeV) is cast in a symmetrical form and used to calculate the likelihood for $\text{J = 1}\text{relative to}\text{J = 2}\text{for}{}^{12}{}_{\mathrm{\Lambda }}\text{B(g.s.}\text{)}$ on the basis of the 85 examples available for this decay process. This procedure has optimum sensitivity, is free from the uncertainties of the comparisons previously made using only projected angular distributions, and strongly indicates that J^P = 1^? holds for ¹²_ΛB(g.s.). An appendix points out that all the data for the decay sequence passing through the (J^P_N, T) = (1⁺, 0) level of ¹²C¹ is well fitted for J = 1 if the J = 1 → J_n = 1 transition amplitude a_s1 takes a value in the range a_s1/s = 0.08 to 0.09.     

Das Niveauschema von 47V aus dem γ-zerfall von Analogresonanzen

A high-accuracy investigation of the level scheme of ⁴⁷V has been performed using the ⁴⁶Ti(p, γ)⁴⁷V reaction. The γ-decay schemes of the strong (p, γ) resonances at E_p = 1546, 1549, 1565 and 1572 keV lead to 17 new energy levels in ⁴⁷V with excitation energies between 2.7 and 5.1 MeV. From the (p,γ) angular distributions mixing ratios of the primary γ-transitions and J^π values of the resonances and of many states populated in the γ-decay have been determined. The total width of the E_p = 1549, 1565 and 1572 keV resonances for γ-decay are found to be Γ_γ = 0.12, 0.15 and 0.03 eV, respectively. The Q-value of the ⁴⁶Ti(p,γ)⁴⁷V reaction is found to be 5168.6 keV. The two resonances at E_p = 1549 and 1565 keV, which have $\text{J}{}^{\mathrm{\pi }}\text{=}\text{3}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$, are interpreted as fine structure components of the analogue state of the $\text{E}{}^1\text{= 2.545}\text{MeV}\text{J}{}^{\mathrm{\pi }}\text{=}\text{3}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ level in ⁴⁷Ti while the ($\text{7}\text{2}$) resonance at E_p = 1546 keV might correspond to the $\text{E}{}^1\text{= 2.615}\text{MeV}\text{7}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ parent state in ⁴⁷Ti. The analogue-antianalogue M1 transition strength of the split $\text{3}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ analogue state is 0.01 single-particle units and fits well into our systematics of IAS → AIAS transitions in fp-shell nuclei.
