Two-quasiproton states in /sup 190/Os and /sup 192/Os studied with the (t,. cap alpha. ) reaction

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
Level structures up to 3000 keV in /sup 190/Os and /sup 192/Os have been studied using the /sup 191/Ir and /sup 193/Ir (t,..cap alpha..) proton pickup reactions with 15 MeV tritons. The ..cap alpha..-particle spectra were obtained with the quadrupole-dipole-dipole-dipole magnetic spectrometer with peak widths of approx.11 keV (full width half maximum). This reaction strongly excites the I,K/sup (/ = 4,4/sup +/ levels at 1162 keV in /sup 190/Os and at 1070 keV in /sup 192/Os, which were previously interpreted as two-phonon ..gamma..-vibrational states. The large two-quasiproton amplitude is reasonably explained by assuming single-phonon hexadecapole vibrations which involve the )5/2 (402), 3/2 (402)) configuration. Many two-quasiproton states are observed in the energy region 2000--3000 keV. The strongest peaks found at an excitation energy of approx.2600 keV in both /sup 190/Os and /sup 192/Os may be the remaining portions of the two-quasiproton )5/2 (402), 3/2 (402))/sub I/,K..pi../sub tsts4,4/+ states.
