Title: ANGULAR CORRELATION OF THE 1.07-1.24 Mev GAMMA CASCADE IN THE DECAY OF Ga$sup 6$$sup 8$

Journal Article · · Nuclear Phys.

The angular correlation was measured of the 1.07 to 1.24 Mev gamma-ray cascade in Zn/sup 68/ following the decay of 68-min Ga/sup 68/. The Legendre polynomial expansion coefficients were determined to be A/sub 2/ = 0.31 plus or minus 0.03 and A/sub 4/ = 0.23 plus or minus 0.07. The messured correlation establishes the spin sequence to be 2-2-0, with a quadrupole-dipole mixing ratio 0 of +18 plus or minus 0.2 for the 1.24-Mev gammaray. The result of the angular correlation work together with the allowed nature (log ft = 5.7) of the electronparity of this level to be 2/sup +/. Thc results are consistent with the near-harmonic model of Scharff-Goldhaber and
