Energy levels of175Hf

Abstract

The reaction 176Hf (d, t) 175Hf was studied using 12 MeV deuterons from the Florida State University super FN tandem Van de Graaff accelerator. The outgoing tritons were analyzed by means of a Browne-Buechner type broad range magnetic spectrograph. Twenty-four states in 17SHf have been identified and fifteen states have been given wave function assignments on the basis of the spectroscopy associated with rotational band structure in deformed odd-A nuclei. The Q-value for the reaction was measured to be --1925 __+ 8 keV.
