The 8+ levels of86Zr revisited

Abstract

The 33 MeV 86Sr(3He, 3n?) reaction has been used to re-measure the level structure of the N=46 nucleus 86Zr. The lowest 8 + level is found at 3,297.5 keV, consistent with some but not all earlier studies. On the basis of spectroscopic measurements and datato-data comparisons with other N=46 nuclei, the 3,531.8 keV level is also suggested as an 8 .Nuclear Reactions: 86Zr(3He, 3n7), 33 MeV, measured ?-7 coin., Iv (O , t).
