NUCLEAR SPECTROSCOPY OF YTTRIUM (90) AND NIOBIUM (92)

Levels in ('90)Y were studied using the ('91)Zr(t,(alpha))('90)Y and ('89)Y(n,(gamma))('90)Y reactions. The results of these studies were used to locate the members of the (pi)(p1/2)('1) (upsilon)(d5/2)('1), (pi)(g9/2)('1) (upsilon)(d5/2)('1), (pi)(p3/2)('-1) (upsilon)(d5/2)('1), and (pi)(f5/2)('-1) (upsilon)(d5/2)('1) configurations. Of particular interest is the anomalously high energy of the 0- state of the (pi)(f5/2)('-1) (upsilon)(d5/2)('1) multiplet. In addition to this several new low spin levels were discovered in the ('89)Y(n,(gamma))('90)Y reaction. / The structure of ('92)Nb was investigated by the ('91)Zr(('3)He,d)('92)Nb reaction. The members of the (pi)(g9/2)('1) (upsilon)(d5/2)('1) configuration were strongly populated and have spectroscopic factors with simple 2J(,f)+1 structure. Several states are populated with (,p) = 1 angular distributions. Also a large portion of the (,p) = 2 spectroscopic strength is observed to be fragmented over many T(,<) states. / The energy spectra of ('90)Y and ('92)Nb were calculated using finite-range matrix elements including both central and tensor potentials. The tensor force is found to have a large effect on the low spin negative parity states of ('90)Y. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 41-03, Section: B, page: 1008. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1980.
