Spectroscopy of high spin states in /sup 73/Br

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
We report on the measurement of level energies, lifetimes, ..gamma..-ray intensities, and angular distributions in /sup 73/Br, obtained in the reactions /sup 40/Ca(/sup 36/Ar,3p) and /sup 40/Ca(/sup 40/Ca,..cap alpha..3p). The g factor of the 241 keV isomeric state (tau = 50 ns) was determined to be g = 1.31(9) from the Larmor precession in an external magnetic field. The fully aligned members of a rotationally aligned g/sub 9/2/ band were identified up to spin I/sup ..pi../ = (33/2/sup +/; the E2 transition strengths indicate a large prolate deformation decreasing from ..beta../sub 2/ = 0.37(4) to ..beta../sub 2/ = 0.33 at rotational frequency h-dash-bar..omega..approx. =0.45 MeV. The negative parity yrast bands with signatures ..cap alpha.. = +- 1/2 were established up to a probable spin of (37/2/sup -/. The ..cap alpha.. = +1/2 yrast band shows a one quasiparticle to three quasiparticle band transition at the same frequency, probably associated with the alignment of two g/sub 9/2/ protons. The structure of /sup 73/Br, which is very similar to that of /sup 75/Br, has been interpreted with the Strutinsky-Bogolyubov cranking and deformed configuration mixing models.
