Band structure in81Sr

Abstract

The reactions 78Kr( alpha ,n) and 80Kr( alpha ,3n) were used to populate excited states in 81Sr. The de-excitation of these states was studied by in-beam gamma -ray spectroscopy. A number of new high-spin states forming band structures have been observed. Lifetime measurements have also been performed. Theoretical calculations using a particle-rotor approach based on the Nilsson model have been made. The different bands are generally well reproduced.
