Abstract

The mean lifetime of levels in 37Ar below 3.30 MeV excitation were measured via the 37Cl(p, nγ) 37Ar reaction with the Doppler-shift attenuation method. Gamma-ray angular distributions were obtained at various incident energies and compared with the predictions of the statistical compound nuclear model. The angular distribution and lifetime results yield an assignment of J π = 5 2 (+) for the 3.171 MeV level and J π = 9 2 − for the 3.185 MeV level. The experimental results are discussed and compared with shell-model calculations.
