Abstract
The lifetime of the 5.83-MeV level of has been examined with pulsed-beam and coincidence techniques. The 5.83-MeV state was populated by means of the reaction. The mean life obtained for the 0.73, 5.83→5.10-MeV transition is ≤0.3 nsec. This limit for the mean life, together with the polarization measurement of Rose et al., establishes the relative parity of the 5.83- and 5.10-MeV levels to be the same. Since the 5.10-MeV level has been established as 2- by Warburton et al., the parity of the 5.83-MeV level is -.
