Abstract

We report on a series of experiments establishing and identifying the properties of the so-called anomalous states in medium-weight nuclei. These excitation energies for states are about 4 MeV for nuclei with Z ≦ 29 and in the range of 2–3 MeV for nuclei with higher Z. From a combination of angular distribution and correlation data we have shown, and interpreted by means of inelastic diffraction scattering analysis, the anomalous states in several cases to be consistent with a 3 interpretation. This lends credence to their collective interpretation. The difficulties with such analyses are discussed, and experimental matters are gone into in some detail.
