g factor of the 738 keV state in /sup 43/K

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
The g factor of the 738 keV second excited state in /sup 43/K has been measured using a perturbed angular correlation technique. A value for the half-life was also obtained. The level was populated via the /sup 40/Ar(..cap alpha.., p)/sup 43/K reaction at 15 MeV with a pulsed beam. The spin precession was measured in an external magnetic field of approx. 3.8 and 5.4 kOe. The measured g factor is + 1.28 +- 0.04, which is consistent with the reported spin of 7/2/sup -/. A comparison of the g factor with other 7/2/sup -/ states in the odd potassium isotopes and the ground state moments of the odd scandium isotopes reveals the state to be predominantly single particle in nature.
