Core Excited States in the A=51 Mirror Nuclei
Author
Summary, in English
Three previously unknown high-energy gamma-ray transitions between 4.2 and 5.4 MeV were identified in the T-z=-1/2 nucleus Fe-51 following the fusion-evaporation reaction S-32(Si-28, 2alpha1n)Fe-51. These transitions represent decays of core excited states. The gamma rays were detected in the Ge detector array Gammasphere combined with the neutron detector system Neutron Shell and the charged-particle array Microball. The three transitions are related to the mirror transitions in the T-z= + 1 /2 nucleus Mn-51, and the resulting mirror-energy difference diagram is discussed with predictions from large-scale shell-model calculations.
