Evidence is presented for the occurrence of a (5/2)/sup + -/ parity doublet as the ground state of /sup 229/Pa, in agreement with a previous theoretical prediction. The doublet splitting energy is measured to be 0.22 +- 0.05 keV. The relation of this doublet to ground-state octupole deformation is discussed. .ID LV2109 .PG 1762 1764
