gamma. decay of states in /sup 47/Cr

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
States in /sup 47/Cr were studied using the /sup 46/Ti(/sup 3/He,2n) /sup 47/Cr reaction with 22-MeV /sup 3/He ions and the /sup 40/Ca(/sup 12/C,..cap alpha..n) /sup 47/Cr reaction with 38-MeV /sup 12/C ions. Prompt and delayed ..gamma..-..gamma.. coincidence studies were performed. The following decay scheme was established (energies in keV): (15/2)/sup -//sub 1322.3//sup arrow-right/ (11/2)/sup -//sub 1158.3//sup arrow-right/ (7/2)/sup -//sub 75.4//sup arrow-right/ (5/2)/sup -//sub 99.3//sup arrow-right/ (3/2)/sup -/(g.s.). In addition, the (3/2)/sup +/ state was determined to have an excitation energy of 471.5 keV and was found to decay to the (5/2)/sup -/ state. Since /sup 47/Cr has T/sub z/ = (1/2) and is the mirror of the well-known /sup 47/V nucleus, Coulomb displacement energies were deduced. The variation of Coulomb displacement energy with mass number is discussed for f/sub 7/2/ shell nuclei. In addition, we used the measured energies for the first (3/2)/sup +/ states in T = (1/2) mirror pairs of f/sub 7/2/ shell nuclei to determine the average Coulomb interaction energy between a d/sub 3/2/ hole and an f/sub 7/2/ particle, and found an increase in magnitude with increasing mass number.
