Abstract

The gamma decay mode and the possible spin values of the second excited state of48Ca (Ex=4.28 MeV) were investigated by studying the48Ca(p, p′γ) reaction at an incident proton energy of 10.30 MeV. No ground state gamma transition was observed. The analysis of thep2-γ angular correlation — using method II of Litherland and Ferguson — supports the spin assignmentI=0 for this level and excludes all spin values higher thanI=1.
