Abstract: | Low-lying levels of 86Y have been investigated using the 86Sr(3He, t) reaction at 42.8 MeV. Jπ values or limits were assigned to 20 of the 23 levels observed below 1.5 MeV through the use of collective DWBA calculations or experimental (3He, t) reaction systematics. The particle-hole structure of 86Y is discussed on the basis of these data and the shell model. |
