The excitation energy of the Jπ = 5+, fourth excited state in 18F has been determined to be Ex = 1119.0 ± 0.6 keV from a measurement of the energy of the γ-ray transition to the 937 keV, first excited state. This new excitation energy removes the discrepancies in the excitation energy of resonant states based on γ-ray decay schemes involving this state. The mean lifetime has been determined to be τ(1119) = 218 ± 8 ns by a delayed coincidence measurement between the γ rays populating and deexciting this state.

A polarization direction correlation measurement of γ rays from the 7.044 MeV level in 30Si results in Jπ = 5− for this level and implies a Jπ = 4− assignment for the level at 6.503 MeV. A particle gamma ray coincidence measurement establishes a new decay branch (15 ± 4%) for the 6.503 MeV level to the 5.485 MeV Jπ = 3− level. The Doppler shift attenuation method was used to measure the mean lifetime of the 7.044 MeV level as [Formula: see text]. A simple shell model structure for the low lying negative parity states is presented and shown to be consistent with experimental measurements.

Au193 has been produced as the daughter of Hg193 formed by the reaction Au197(p, 5n)Hg193 in the McGill synchrocyclotron. The internal conversion spectrum and unconverted γ-ray spectrum have been examined using β-ray spectrometers, Nal spectrometers, and coincidence techniques. Au193 decays by electron capture to Pt193 with a half-life of 17.5 ± 0.2 hr. An upper limit of 0.08% per disintegration has been placed on the probability of emission of positrons in this decay. Twenty-eight γ-rays, all below 500 kev., have been observed associated with the decay of Au193. The first excited state of Pt193 has been shown to be at 12.7 kev. and the lifetime of this state measured as (2.2 ± 0.8) × 10−9sec. A level scheme is proposed for Pt193.

New measurements have been made of the neutron capture radiation from beryllium and carbon using a more sensitive pair spectrometer. From beryllium, γ rays with energies of 6.81 and 3.41 ± 0.06 Mev. were detected. The former is the ground state γ ray previously reported. The 3.41 Mev. γ ray, which has an intensity of about 0.25 photon per capture, seems to be due to the excitation of the first excited state in Be10. From carbon, in addition to the 4.95 Mev. ground state γ ray previously reported, a γ ray was found with an energy of 3.68 ± 0.05 Mev. and with an intensity of about 0.3 photon per capture. No γ rays were observed which could be associated with the excitation of the level at 3.9 Mev. in C13.

The reorientation effect in Coulomb excitation has been used to measure the static quadrupole moment Q2+ and B(E2;0+->2+) for the 1�779 MeV first excited state of 28Si. The results obtained are Q2+ = +15�5�3�4 efm2 and B(E2;0+->2+) = 326�20 e2fm4 ? The value obtained for Q2+ confirms the results of other recent determinations using the reorientation effect, and the B(E2; 0+ -> 2 +) value is in excellent agreement with the mean value deduced from previous lifetime determinations. Shell model and Hartree-Fock calculations of Q2+ both give a good account of the experimental result.

The capture γ-rays from potassium have been re-examined with greater resolution than was used in previous experiments. The upper end of the spectrum has been carefully studied both with a sample of natural potassium carbonate and with another in which the potassium was enriched in K40. From a comparison of the spectra two γ-rays with energies of 9.39 ± 0.06 and 8.45 ± 0.02 Mev. are assigned to capture by that isotope. The strong γ-ray at 7.757 ± 0.008 Mev. previously ascribed to the ground state transition in K40 is now found to represent a transition to a low-lying excited state in that nucleus.



The present work demonstrates the feasibility of alining manganese-56 produced by neutron irradiation of a nickel fluosilicate crystal containing stable 55 Mn. Measurements were made of the angular distribution of the γ-radiation from the alined 56 Mn and also of the angular correlation of the γ-rays from this isotope. By combining the results it is possible to establish uniquely as 2 the spins of the states of the daughter nucleus of 56 Fe at 2.66 and 2.98 MeV. The mixing ratios δ ( E 2/ M 1) for the 1.81 and 2.13 MeV γ-rays to the first excited state are shown to be 0.19 ± 0.02 and — 0.28 ± 0.02. The spectrum of the γ-radiation was studied with a scintillation spectrometer and this leads to the following relative intensities; 0.845 MeV (100%), 1.81 MeV (27 ± 3%), 2.13 MeV (15 ± 3%), 2.55 MeV (1.2 ± 0.2%), 2.66 MeV (0.65 ± 0.1%), 2.98 MeV (0.35 ± 0.1%) and 3.4 MeV (0.22 ± 0.05%). Coincidence measurements suggest that the 2.55 and 3.4 MeV γ-rays are due to de-excitation of a level at about 3.4 MeV which decays both to the ground and first excited states. A spin of 2 for this state is proposed.

A combination of nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) were utilized in order to obtain information on the depth distribution of sulphur and copper in artificially produced and natural patina layers. The copper profiling was performed by using the reaction 63Cu(p,p'y)6 3Cu and detecting the 1327 keV γ-ray deexciting the third excited state to the ground state of 6 3Cu produced. For the determination of sulfur the 2230 keV γ-ray was used, deexciting the first excited state to the ground state of 32S formed through the reaction 3 2S(p,p'y)3 2S, which exhibits three sharp resonances at projectile energies 3.094, 3.195 and 3.379 MeV. The relevant cross-sections were measured in the energy range between 3.0 and 3.7 MeV in steps of 20 keV at 125° to the incident proton beam direction. Supporting information on the depth distribution of oxygen and the other elements of the patina samples was obtained by p-RBS (Ep = 1.5 MeV; θ = 160°).

The concentration and depth profile of Cu and S in patinna samples have been determined by using Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA) and Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS). For the NRA the differential cross section was mesaured for the 1327 keV 7-ray deexciting the third excited state to the ground state of 6 3Cu through the reaction 63Cu(p,p'7), as well as, for the 2230 keV γ-ray deexciting the first excited state to the ground state through the resonant reaction 32S(p,p'7). The mesaurements of both excitation functions were performed in the energy range 3.0 - 3.7 MeV in 20 keV steps and at an angle of 125°.
