Abstract
Population of states with spin as high as 24 + (26 +) in 234U is observed in the one-neutron pickup reaction 235U( 58Ni, 59Ni) 234U at E lab = 325 MeV. The total γ-ray energy and multiplicity measured in this reaction channel indicate that transfer is populating mostly “cold” states, without appreciable fission competition. The prospect of studying high-spin states in the actinide region using even heavier projectiles is discussed, and we conclude that discrete states with spin higher than 30 may be accessible by these methods.
