Abstract

Low spin states in the self-conjugate even-even nucleus $^{48}\mathrm{Cr}$ were investigated using the MINIBALL $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray spectrometer. At the FN TANDEM accelerator in Cologne the $^{46}\mathrm{Ti}(^{3}\mathrm{He},n)$ reaction was used for the measurement of $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ coincidences for an excitation function from 7 to $12\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{MeV}$ beam energy. Seventeen excited states were observed, nine for the first time by means of $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray spectroscopy, and new spin assignments were made. No excited states apart from the ground band were observed below $3.4\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{MeV}$. First comparisons with different model calculations are given.
