Electromagnetic properties of 53Cr

Abstract

Lifetimes, excitation energies, decay modes and spins of %r levels with E, < 3.3 MeV, have been determined in the 5oTi(or, ny)53Cr reaction.

Gamma-ray decay of levels in /sup 53/Cr

“…It is apparent that the gamma-ray energies and branching ratios were taken from the 50 Ti(a,n7) ex periment of Carola and Tamboer. 19 The only other experiment to report these gamma rays is the 50 Ti(a, 117) experiment of Radford and Poletti. 29 We observe both gamma rays in the correct E n energy bin for the threshold of excitation of this state.…”

“…The level structure of the stable nucleus 53 Cr has been studied via in elastic nucleon scattering 1-9 as well as charged-particle reactions, 1-6,9-14 and gamma-ray transitions among levels have been observed by in-beam spectroscopy methods 2,8,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] and following beta-decay 32,33 of 53 V. Recently, experimental data available through 1983 were compiled and evaluated by Peker 34 as part of the Nu clear Data Project. One might expect, therefore, that the low-lying (excitation energy E x < 3 MeV) level structure of 53 Cr could be considered as well known.…”
