Title: High spin structure of $$\mathrm{^{39}Ar}$$ and the FSU cross-shell interaction

Abstract

High-spin states in $$\mathrm{^{39}Ar}$$ were populated using the $$\mathrm{^{27}Al(^{14}C,} pn)$$ reaction at 25.6 MeV. The de-exciting $$γ$$ rays were measured with the FSU $$γ$$ detector array along with evaporation protons in a Si $E-ΔE$ telescope. The known high-spin level scheme was extended up to over 11 MeV with a dozen new levels above the neutron decay threshold. The decay pattern appears somewhat atypical for heavy-ion fusion-evaporation reactions. The structure of $$\mathrm{^{39}Ar}$$ is discussed in terms of the new FSU cross-shell $spsdpf$ interaction fitted to a wide range of nuclei. This interaction has proved quite successful in accounting for the level scheme of $$\mathrm{^{39}Ar}$$, including the previously suggested fully aligned $$πf_{7/2} Ⓧ νf_{7/2}17/2^+$$ state and previously discovered analogs of the lowest states in $$\mathrm{^{39}Cl}$$.
