Structure of /sup 78/Ge from the /sup 76/Ge(t,p)/sup 78/Ge reaction

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)

The /sup 76/Ge(t,p)/sup 78/Ge reaction has been performed at a bombarding energy of 17 MeV. Thirteen excited states below 3 MeV excitation are reported with J/sup ..pi../ values obtained by comparison to distorted-wave Born-approximation analysis. A comparison to a dynamical deformation theory is made and the results suggest /sup 78/Ge is a transitional nucleus nearing spherical shape due to the proximity of the N = 50 closed shell.
