Excited States of⁹⁸Tc from the⁹⁸Mo(p,nγ)⁹⁸Tc Reaction

Abstract

yspectra and integral 7 excitation functions of the 98Mo(p, n ~) ~' T c reaction were measured with Ge(Li) and hyperpure Ge detectors in the 2.4-4.0 MeV energy interval of the bombarding protons. The conversion electron spectrum of the reaction was measured with a superconducting magnet transporter Si(Li) spectrometer. The level scheme of 9 8 T ~, -,branching ratios, multipolarity of transitions, level spin and parity values have been deduced. The energies of '*Tc levels were calculated on the basis of the parabolic rule which was derived from the cluster-vibration model. The experimental level scheme of 9 8 T ~ has been compared with the available theoretical results.
