High-spin levels in 2~ populated in the 2~ were studied using c~-particles in the energy region 41-51 MeV. The energies of levels above the 6 + level have an uncertainty of about 10 keV due to the fact that the 8 +--.6 + transition has not been observed so far, but this transition has previously been established to be converted neither in the K-shell nor in the L-shells. It was found that the yrast cascade of y-rays from a 19 + level at 5896+ekeV feeds levels of lower spin which all can be explained as originating from two proton-two neutron hole configurations. In the higher part of the cascade it is mainly the neutron holes which change their configuration, while the lower part of the cascade is dominated by changes in the proton configuration. The yrast levels in the angular momentum region J--8-19 vary practically linearly with energy in the region 1.5-6 MeV. No isomeric traps were found above the 11-level at 2699 + e keV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
