<p> The (α,n) reaction on natural chromium has been used to study levels in 55Fe up to 2.5 MeV excitation. Intensities and angular distributions of the decay gamma rays were measured, yielding branching and E2/M1 mixing ratios. In a magnetized target of the alloy Cr20Fe80, the
rotation of the angular distributions was observed. Using recently determined lifetimes and the average internal field of 277 kOe measured in the target material by Mössbauer absorption, the following g-factors are obtained: - 931 keV, 5/2- -: +1.2 ±0.5 1316 keV, 7/2- -: +0.5 ± 0.5 1408 keV, 7/2- -: -0.77 ± 0.16 </p> / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)
