Nuclear structure ofMo102

Abstract

Nuclear structure of the $^{102}\mathrm{Mo}$ nucleus has been studied using the $^{100}\mathrm{Mo}$($t,p$)$^{102}\mathrm{Mo}$ reaction with the triton beam energy of 12 MeV obtained from the tandem Van de Graaff accelerator and a multichannel magnetic spectrograph. Proton spectra are obtained at 12 different angles from 5\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} to 87.5\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}, at an interval of 7.5\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} and are detected in nuclear emulsion plates. Thirty-five levels in the energy range from 0.000 to 3.248 MeV have been observed. The results yield a number of new levels with spin assignments. Absolute differential cross sections for the levels have been measured. The experimental angular distributions are compared with the theoretical distorted-wave Born approximation calculations to determine $L$ and ${J}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}$ values. The present results are compared with the previous results.
