Measurement and interpretation of electromagnetic transitions in 51V

Nuclear structure study of51V

“…The two sets of results are in good agreement regarding both the actual values of the level energies and the number of levels observed up to an excitation energy of 3,683 keV. For these states, the results of this study are in good agreement with the values of Horoshko [12] with the exception of the states at 1,814 and 2,410 keV, where additional branches of 1% to the state at 1,608 keV and 15 % to the state at 929 keV, were found respectively. The level at 2,790 keV was only observed in the coincidence proton spectrum and although the state at 3,215keV was detected, quantitative analysis was not possible due to interference from the excitation of the states at 3,266 and 3,285keV.…”

“…The angular distributions showed little anisotropy due to the relatively large J = 7/2 spin of the 51V ground state. Spin possibilities of 1/2, 3/2 are given for the ninth excited state at 2,790 keV [12]. 3).…”

“…The transitions at 9238.4keV and 8351.6 keV populate final states with J~ =9/2-and J~ =15/2-respectively [16] and have comparable intensities. The transitions at 9238.4keV and 8351.6 keV populate final states with J~ =9/2-and J~ =15/2-respectively [16] and have comparable intensities.…”

“…We have no clear evidence for this transition, which can be explained by two contributing factors. First, the transition would be a strongly hindered M1 transition, similar to the case of 51 V [37][38][39][40][41]. The M1 hinderance comes about due to vanishing matrix elements from geometric considerations [41].…”
