Gamma-ray transitions in /sup 52,53/Cr and /sup 54,55/Mn have been observed using /sup 7/Li(/sup 51/V,xn yp z..cap alpha.. ..gamma..) fusion-evaporation reactions and ..gamma..-particle coincidence techniques. The experiment involved the same reaction at the same center-of-mass energy as the earlier work of Poletti et al., but with target and projectile interchanged. In the present work, eight additional transitions have been identified as occurring in /sup 52/Cr. This provides corroboration of results obtained more recently via /sup 50/Ti(..cap alpha..,2n..gamma..)/sup 52/Cr reaction studies. A simple, efficient approach to the spectroscopy of weakly populated nuclear states which provides for unambiguous isotopic assignments is thus demonstrated.
