Abstract
Forty-nine states in have been observed between the ground state and 2208 keV utilizing 10-MeV deuterons and the reaction . The ground-state value for this reaction was measured as 3084±15 keV. Absolute cross sections of the proton groups were measured and angular distributions allowed the determination of values for eight of these groups. The interpretation of the experimental results was based upon the energy systematics in a deformed nucleus and the relative strengths of the () transitions in a deformed odd- nucleus. Levels are assigned as belonging to the , , ½-[530], and ½-[521] rotational bands. The ½-[521] rotational band is shown to be appreciably mixed with the -vibrational bands built on the and bands. The comparison between the differing ground-state Nilsson orbitals in , , and suggests increasing deformation in this sequence.
