ANGULAR CORRELATION STUDIES IN 50CR

Proton-gamma angular correlation measurements have been used to determine spins and establish modes of decay for some of the low-lying levels in 50Cr. The spins of the 3.317, 3.621 and 3.786 MeV states are found to be 4, 1 and 5, respectively. Confirmation of previous spin assignments to the 2.922, 3.156 and 3.692 MeV states are reported together with multipole mixing ratios of relevant gamma rays from all six states. Branching ratios were measured for the above states and those at 3.838, 3.888, 3.927 and 4.123 MeV. The results are discussed in relation to 46Ti, a cross-conjugate nucleus in an (ffrac(7, 2))n description, and the theoretical predictions of McCullen, Bayman and Zamick. © 1968 North-Holland Publishing Co., Amsterdam.
