Low-lying negative parity levels in 63Cu were Coulomb excited with 3.25 to 4.25 MeV protons to test the weak coupling core-excitation model. A Ge(Li) detector was used to measure the gamma-ray yields. The 1412, 1547, and 1861 keV levels in 63Cu were Coulomb excited for the first time. Gamma-ray angular distributions were measured at 4.25 MeV proton energy in deducing multipole mixing ratios and spin values. The E2 and M1 reduced transition probabilities were determined for the six states. The 669.6, 962, 1327, and 1547 keV levels have properties consistent with the interpretation of coupling a 2p3/2 proton to the first 2+core state. The present results were compared with the available particle–core and particle–phonon model calculations.

Low-lying negative parity levels in 45Sc were Coulomb excited with 2.5 to 3.5 MeV protons and 4 to 5 MeV 4He ions to test the weak coupling core-excitation model. A Ge(Li) detector was used to measure the gamma-ray yields. The 543, 976, 1408, and 1662 keV levels in 45Sc were Coulomb excited for the first time. Gamma-ray angular distributions were measured at 3.0 MeV proton energy in deducing multipole mixing ratios and spin values. Energy level measurements (in units of kiloelectronvolts) and spin values obtained are as follows: 976, 5/2, 7/2 and 1408, 7/2. The E2 and M1 reduced transition probabilities were determined for the six states. The 376, 720, 1237, 1408, and 1662 keV levels have properties consistent with the interpretation of coupling a 1f7/2 proton to the first 2+ core state.

Protons of energy 3.2–4.2 MeV have been used to Coulomb excite the states in 133Cs. The thick-target gamma-ray yields and the angular distributions were measured using a 50 cm3 Ge(Li) detector. The measurements were used to extract the reduced transition probabilities, B (E2) and B(M1), and multipole mixing ratios (δ) for the various transitions. A spin assignment has been made to the 871.8 keV level on the basis of angular distribution data. The results obtained have been compared with those of other authors.

The projected shell model (PSM) with the deformed single-particle states, generated by the standard Nilsson potential, is applied to study the negative-parity high spin states of [Formula: see text] nuclei. The nuclear structure quantities like band structure and back-bending in moment of inertia have been calculated with PSM method and are compared with the available experimental data. In addition, the reduced transition probabilities, i.e., B[Formula: see text] and B[Formula: see text], are also obtained for the yrast band of these isotopes for the first time by using PSM wave function. A multi-quasiparticle structure has been predicted for [Formula: see text] isotopes by the present PSM calculations.

The relative intensities of X rays and γ rays from the decay of 182Ta were measured precisely using Si(Li) and HPGe detectors. The intensities of the different components of K and L X rays were measured for the first time. The conversion electron intensities for the transitions with energy above 800 keV from the 182Ta decay were measured using a mini-orange electron spectrometer and the internal conversion coefficients for various transitions in 182W deduced. The (M + N)-conversion coefficients for the 1001.7, 1189.1, 1231.0, 1257.2, 1289.2, and 1342.7 keV transitions in 182W were measured for the first time. Also, γ–γ coincidence and correlation measurements were carried out using a HPGe–HPGe coincidence setup (2τ = 7 ns). The directional correlation coefficients for the 928–229, 960–229, 1002–229, 1044–229, 1158–229, 1223–229, and 1002–222 keV cascades in 182W are determined for the first time. The multipole mixing ratio for the 152, 156, 179, 222, 928, 1002, 1113, 1158, 1223, and 1231 keV transitions are deduced from the present directional correlation and conversion coefficient measurements. Experimental ratios of reduced transition probabilities for the transitions in 182W from positive and negative parity states are deduced and compared with the values predicted by the symmetric rotor model. From this comparison a unique K assignment of Kπ = 1+ and Kπ = 1− is made to the bands built on the 1257 and 1553 keV levels, respectively.

Abstract Two low-lying unbound states in 16C are firstly investigated by the deuteron inelastic scattering in inverse kinematics. Besides the 2- state at 5.45-MeV previously measured in a 1n knockout reaction, a new resonant state at 6.89 MeV is observed for the first time. The inelastic scattering angular distributions of these two states are well reproduced by the distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA) calculation with an l = 1 excitation. In addition, the spin-parities of the unbound states are discussed and tentatively assigned based on the shell model calculations using the modified YSOX interaction.

The negative-parity states of 24Mg nucleus are investigated within the shell model. We are based on the calculations of energy levels, total squared form factors, and transition probability using the p-sd-pf (PSDPF) Hamiltonian in a large model space (0 + 1) hW. The comparison between the experimental and theoretical states showed a good agreement within a truncated model space. The PSDPF-based calculations successfully reproduced the data on the total squared form factors and transition probabilities of the negative-parity states in 24Mg nucleus. These quantities depend on the one-body density matrix elements that are obtained from the PSDPF Hamiltonian. The wave functions of radial one-particle matrix elements calculated with the harmonic-oscillator potential are suitable to predict experimental data by changing the center-of-mass corrections.

Abstract Stellar Evolution theory relies on our knowledge of nuclear reactions, with the carbon/oxygen (C/O) ratio, at the end of helium burning, being the single most important input. However, the C/O ratio is still not known with sufficient accuracy, due to large uncertainties in the cross section for the fusion of helium with 12C to form 16O, denoted as the 12C(α,γ)16O reaction. We present initial results at moderately low energies using a novel method, which is significantly different from the experimental efforts of the past four decades. Precise angular distributions of the 12C(α,γ)16O reaction were obtained by measuring the inverse 16O(γ,α)12C reaction with gamma-beams and a Time Projection Chamber detector. These allowed us to measure, for the first time, the interference angle of the l = 1 and 2 partial waves contributing to this reaction (φ12), which agrees with predictions based on the unitarity of the scattering matrix.

The stable isotopes of xenon, which have attracted interest for a number of reasons, span a transitional region that evolves from γ-soft structures for the lighter mass isotopes to nearly spherical 136Xe with a closed neutron shell. The nature of this transition, which is gradual, is not well understood. To provide detailed spectroscopic information on the Xe isotopes, we have studied 130,132,134,136Xe at the University of Kentucky Accelerator Laboratory using inelastic neutron scattering and γ-ray detection. These measurements yielded γ-ray angular distributions, branching ratios, multipole mixing ratios, and level lifetimes (from the Doppler-shift attenuation method), which allowed the determination of reduced transition probabilities and provided insight into the structure of these nuclei.

Negative parity energy states in 121–131 La have been studied using Projected Shell Model (PSM). Some nuclear structure properties like yrast spectra, back-bending in moment of inertia, reduced transition probabilities and band diagrams have been described. The experimental feature of the co-existence of prolate–oblate shapes in 125–131 La isotopes has been satisfactorily explained by PSM results. Comparison of the theoretical data with their experimental counterparts has also been made. From the calculations, it is found that the yrast states arise because of multi-quasiparticle states.

Energy levels below 2.2 MeV excitation in 114,116Cd have been investigated using the (n, n′γ) reaction. Gamma-ray angular distributions were measured, and energy levels, spins, and gamma-ray multipole mixing ratios were deduced. Levels and their spins have been confirmed at 1134 (0), 1210 (2), 1283 (4), 1365 (2), 1733 (4), and 1843 (2) keV for 14Cd and at 1213 (2), 1220 (4), and 1381 (0) keV for 116Cd. New spin assignments have been made for the levels at 1861 (3) and 2049 (3) keV for 114Cd and at 1644 (2,3) and 1917 (3) keV for 116Cd. The states at 1959 keV in 114Cd and 1923 keV in 116Cd are shown to be consistent with assignments of 3.
