Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
Low-spin states of /sup 250/Cf have been investigated by measuring ..gamma.. rays and conversion electrons associated with the electron capture decay of 2.22-h /sup 250/Es. Mass-separated /sup 250/Es samples produced by the /sup 249/Cf(d,n) reaction were used for these measurements. The ..gamma..-ray spectra were measured with a 25-cm/sup 3/ coaxial Ge(Li) spectrometer and the electron spectra were measured with a cooled Si(Li) detector. Multipolarities of intense transitions in /sup 250/Cf were deduced and logft values of electron capture transitions were derived from measured electron capture intensities. On the basis of the results of the present investigation the following bandheads were identified in /sup 250/Cf: E (keV),K,I..pi..=871.6, 2,2-; 1031.9, 2,2+; 1154.2, 0,0+; 1175.5, 1,1-; 1210.0, 2,2-; 1244.4, 2,2+; 1266.5, 0,0+; and 1658.1, 2,2+. The 2.22-h state in /sup 250/Es has been given a spin-parity assignment of 1- with configuration )n(734)9/2-; p(633)7/2+)/sub 1//sub -/.
