/sup 76/Ge(t,p)/sup 78/Ge reaction

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

The /sup 76/Ge(t,p) reaction has been studied in order to extend the known level structure in the Ge isotopes to /sup 78/Ge and to further investigate the proposed shape transition in the Ge nuclei. About 30 states were observed in /sup 78/Ge, which was previously uninvestigated. Angular distributions were measured and were analyzed using zero-range microscopic two-nucleon transfer distorted-wave calculations to extract L values. Based on the energy of the first excited 0/sup +/ level, it would appear that /sup 78/Ge does not continue the trend toward prolate deformation but begins to return toward the critical or ''supersoft'' region.
