The decay of the 9.699 MeV level in 28Si has been studied using the reaction 27Al(p,γ)28Si at Ep = 1724 keV. Gamma rays from the decay of the 9.699 MeV level were observed with large-volume Ge(Li) detectors. Branching ratios for the decay of the 9.699 MeV level have been obtained and a lower limit for the lifetime of this level has been measured to be [Formula: see text] using the Doppler-shift attenuation method.

Lifetime measurements have been made by the Doppler-shift attenuation method for the 1.98-, 3.63-, 3.92-, and 4.45-Mev states in O18 and the 1.28-, 3.34-, and 4.47-Mev states in Ne22, excited by the reactions Li7(C12, pγ)O18 and Li7(O16, pγ)Ne22. Branching ratios have also been measured. The results are tabulated.[Formula: see text]The decay of the 3.92-Mev state in O18 is 93.5% to the 1.98-Mev state and 6.5% to the ground state and of the 4.45-Mev state 74% to the 3.63-Mev state, 26% to the 1.98-Mev state, and less than 2% to the ground state. In Ne22, the ground-state transition from the 4.47-Mev state is less than 2% of the decay to the first excited state.

Gamma rays from the decay of 30Si levels with excitation energies less than 6.0 MeV have been studied by the 27Al(α, pγ)30Si reaction. The γ rays were detected in a Ge(Li) detector in coincidence with protons observed in an annular detector placed at 180°. Branching ratios and lifetimes have been extracted. The lifetimes have been measured by the Doppler-shift attenuation method.The electromagnetic matrix elements for some of the observed levels were compared with recent many-particle shell model and core-coupling calculations.

The decay modes of the 7/2−, 3702 keV level in 25Al have been studied at the Ep = 1490 keV resonance in the 24Mg(p,γ)25Al reaction. The decay gamma rays were observed using a 25 cm3 Ge(Li) detector. A previously unreported 2% transition from the resonance to the level at 2723 keV has been observed. The angular distribution of this gamma ray admits only a spin of 7/2 for the 2723 keV level. The lifetime of the 2723 keV level was measured with the Doppler shift attenuation method (DSAM) at the 1660 keV resonance and was found to be [Formula: see text]. The lifetime of the 5/2+, 1790 keV level has been measured using the DSAM and has been found to be [Formula: see text]. From Doppler shift measurements a lower limit for the lifetime of the 3/2+, 945 keV level of [Formula: see text] was obtained. From angular distribution measurements at the Ep = 1490 keV resonance, the following multipole mixing ratios have been measured: δ(R → 0) = 0.00 ± 0.02; δ(R → 1790) = −0.02 ± 0.02; δ(R → 2723) = 0.15 ± 0.30; [Formula: see text]; δ(1790 → 945) = −0.15 ± 0.05; δ(945 → 0) = 0.35 ± 0.10 or 1.7 ± 0.2; δ(945 → 451) = −0.15 ± 0.05 or 2.6 ± 0.4. Comparisons with data in the mirror nucleus 25Mg have been made.

The Doppler shift attenuation method of lifetime determination has been employed following the 62.6 4 Ni(p, ny)62.6 4 Cu and 67. 70Zn(p, ny)67. 70Ga reactions. The lifetime of the 62CU state at 637 keY was found to be 220 :':1~g fs; lower limits of 230 and 250 fs were set for the levels at 426 and 548 keYrespectively. For 64 CU, a lower limit of 175 fs was set for both the 609 and 663 keY states. Lifetimes in 67Ga were determined for the indicated levels as: 828 keY, 280 +igg fs; 911 keY, 370 :,:~~g fs; 1412 keY, 900 :,:~~go fs; 1519 keY, 750 :,:!ggo fs; 1555 keY, 190 :,:~g fs; 1639 keY, 150 :,:!g fs; 2041 keY, 150 :,:~g fs; and 2174 keY, 80 :':jg fs. Lower limits of 600 and 110 fs were set on the lifetime values for the 1202 and 1978 keY levels respectively. Similarly, lower limits on the lifetimes of the 70Ga levels at 1203 and 1245 keY were set at 320 and 720 fs, while values for the 1312 and 1446 keY levels of 70Ga were found to be 245 :':~~ and 390 :':~~~ fs.

Lifetimes of energy levels in 25Mg have been measured using the Doppler-shift attenuation method. The levels were exicted by the 25Mg(p, p′γ) reaction with incident proton energies between 3.8 and 7.0 MeV. The gamma rays were detected in a three-crystal spectrometer consisting of a 40 cm3 Ge(Li) detector surrounded by a large NaI(Tl) crystal in the form of a split annulus. Mean lifetimes found, given in fs, are: τ(1611-keV level) = [Formula: see text], τ(1962) = [Formula: see text], τ(2565) = 59 ± 26, τ(2736) = 288 ± 20, τ(2803) = 27 ± 6, τ(3399) = 33 ± 19, τ(3408) < 20, τ(3903) < 20, τ(3969) = 24 ± 11, τ(4055) = 53 ± 10, and τ(5005) < 26. The decay modes and branching ratios of levels up to 4055-keV excitation are given. The results are compared with the mirror nucleus 25Al and discussed in terms of the collective model.

The energies, gamma-ray branching ratios, and mean nuclear lifetimes of the six lowest lying levels in 35Cl have been measured. Gamma rays following the reaction 32S(α,pγ)35Cl were studied using two Ge(Li) detectors with 15-cm3 and 40-cm3 active volumes respectively. The lifetimes of the five lowest lying levels were measured using the Doppler shift attenuation method, with the results: 1219 keV, [Formula: see text]; 1763 keV, 0.55 ± 0.15 ps; 2646 keV, 0.30 ± 0.09 ps; 2695 keV, <0.03 ps; and 3003 keV, <0.05 ps. The lifetime of the 3163-keV level was measured to be 60 ± 7 ps, using a recoil distance method. The level structure is discussed taking into account known lifetimes, spins, parities, and gamma-ray mixing ratios.

Lifetimes of three of the low-lying excited states in 29P, populated in the 28Si(p,γ) reaction, have been determined using the Doppler shift attenuation method. The mean lifetimes of states at 4.085, 1.956, and 1.385 MeV were found to be 15 ± 4, 370 ± 80, and 200 ± 60 fs.Angular distribution measurements have also been performed on gamma rays resulting from the decay of the 4.085 MeV resonance level. The decay was found to go via states at 3.107 MeV (3%), 1.956 MeV (54%), and 1.385 MeV (43%). The spin of the resonance level was uniquely assigned as 7/2 and the multipole mixing ratios of the 2.129 and 1.385 MeV transitions as + 0.17 ± 0.05 and + 0.303 ± 0.050 respectively. The consequent transition rates indicate that the parity of the resonance level is positive.

A search is described for an excited Kn = 0+ rotational band based on the 6� 44 MeV level of 24Mg. Mean nuclear lifetimes have been measured by the Doppler shift attenuation method using the 12C('60,a)24Mg reaction and the results are 't'm = 66�29, 28�7 and 13�3 fs for levels at 6'44, 8�65 and 10� 58 MeV respectively. The absolute transition rates found for the y decays from the 6�44 and 8�65 MeV levels are in good agreement with the results of shell model calculations if it is assumed that these levels are the 0+ and 2 + members respectively of the excited Kn = 0+ rotational band. Based on this assumption, a result Qoo = 0�48 �0�08b is obtained for the intraband quadrupole moment. From a study of the 23Na(p, y) reaction, it is established that the J = 4 levels at 12� 63 and 13�05 MeV do not decay by enhanced E2 transitions to the 8� 65 MeV level. This suggests that neither of these levels is the 4 + member of the excited Kn = 0+ rotational band. An assignment of J" = 4+ is made to one member of the doublet at 10�58 MeV.
