The spectra of deexcitation gamma rays following photodisintegration of 19F and 31P have been measured to study further the reaction channels involved in photodisintegration of nonclosed shell nuclei. Besides (γ,n) and (γ,p) decays to excited states of the residual nuclei, strong (γ,α) channels from 19F to the first excited state of 15N and from 31P to the first two excited states of 27Al were observed.

The contribution to the Coulomb excitation of the first excited state of 170 due to virtual excitation of the giant dipole resonance (GDR) is calculated, using shell model wavefunctions for the ground and first excited states. A large value is obtained.



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.

Protons of 7.1 Mev. energy from the MIT cyclotron have been used to investigate the angular distribution of gamma rays from the C12(p,p′γ) reaction with respect to the incoming proton beam. These gamma rays result from transitions between the first excited state of C12 at 4.45 Mev. and the ground state. The resulting distribution can be fitted by the expansion[Formula: see text]which is consistent with an assignment of two for the angular momentum of the first excited state of C12.

Coulomb excitation of Br targets and the reaction 80Se(p,γ)81Br were used to populate the low lying excited states of 81Br and an energy level scheme is proposed. The reduced transition probability from the ground state to the first excited state of 81Br (276 keV) has been measured to be B(E2) = 410 ± 40 e2 f4.

Gamma rays from the excited states of O18 at 3.63 and 3.92 Mev have been observed using the reaction [Formula: see text] at an incident O16 energy of 14 Mev. Both states were observed to emit gamma rays to the 1.98-Mev 2+ first excited state of O18. No evidence for crossover transitions was found and in each case the crossover transition was estimated to be [Formula: see text] of the cascade transition. Angular correlations of the gamma rays were obtained and these strongly support an assignment of spin 0 to the 3.63-Mev state and a spin of 2 for the 3.92-Mev state. These assignments have been confirmed by a recent experiment on the O16(H3, p)O18 reaction which gives the assignments 0+ and 2+ for these two states. Thus the states at 3.55, 3.63, and 3.92 Mev form a triplet with assignments 4+, 0+, and 2+ which strongly resembles the vibrational spectra found in heavier nuclei. However, the measured angular correlations of the gamma rays from the 3.92-Mev state show only a small admixture of electric quadrupole in the 1.94-Mev gamma ray with relative amplitude +0.1 ±.1. A lower limit of ~10−12 seconds on the lifetime of the 3.63-Mev state was obtained from the absence of a doppler shift of the 1.65-Mev cascade gamma ray.

Radiation from proton capture in 7Li is known to consist of two principal components of energy (17�2+~.Ep) and (14'3+~Ep)MeV, corresponding to transitions to the ground state and first excited state of sBe respectively (Walker and McDaniel 1948). Resonances in the reaction are known to exist at Ep=441 keY, 1�03 and 2�1 MeV (Bonner and Evans 1948; Kraus 1954; Price 1954) and the relative intensity of the two y-rays is known to vary in the neighbourhood of the 441 keY resonance (Campbell 1956). It is not known if the intensity ratio varies in the region of the 1030 keY resonance and this experiment was designed to repeat the measurements of Campbell and extend the investigation to the higher resonance.

A search has been made with a Ge(Li) detector for weak gamma-ray transitions in 60Ni following the beta decay of 60Co. Observation of a gamma ray of energy 2158.8 ± 0.4 keV and intensity of about 10−5 per disintegration has confirmed that the 2159-keV level of 60Ni is populated in about 10−4 of the disintegrations. A much stronger peak at 822 keV has been shown to be the single-escape peak of the 1332-keV gamma ray rather than the (2159 → 1332) transition as claimed by Hansen and Spernol. The search for other weak gamma rays in 60Ni was inconclusive, and the mechanism for feeding the 2159-keV level is not clear. As a byproduct of this investigation, the energy of the first excited state of 64Ni is found to be 1345.9 ± 0.3 keV.

Abstract The electric dipole moment of yt-Base calculated by the CNDO/S and JNDO/S method is μg = 3.42 D and μg = 3.74 D in the ground state and μe = 4.41 D and μe = 5.67 D in the first excited ππ*-state, respectively, μg and μe being nearly antiparallel. Measurements of absorption and fluorescence spectra of yt-Base in aprotic solvents of different polarity yielded μg = 3.8 D and μe = 4.3 D and the directions of dipole moments were found to be nearly antiparallel.This comparison may be considered as an indication for the ππ* character of the observable first excited state, although the CNDO/S-and JNDO/S-calculations predict a nπ*-state as the lowest lying excited state
