The main goal of this work is to establish the nuclear decay scheme of [sup 76]Sr and energy levels of its doubly odd daughter nucleus [sup 76]Rb. The extremely neutron deficient nucleus [sup 76]Sr lying at the [ital N]=[ital Z] (=38) line with half-life of 8.9 s was produced in spallation reactions of 600 MeV protons from the CERN Synchrocyclotron (SC) with a Nb multifoil target in conjunction with a W surface ionization source at the ISOLDE facility. The [gamma]-spectroscopy measurements have been performed with two Ge detectors which were positioned at about [plus minus]30[degree] respectively downstream to the [sup 76]Sr beam. The obtained singles and coincidence [gamma] spectra were used to determine energies and intensities of [gamma] lines assigned to the decay of [sup 76]Sr and to establish some details of the nuclear level configuration of its daughter nucleus [sup 76]Rb up to 1000 keV.
