Abstract
The decay of proceeding to highly excited states of has been studied by measuring the delayed particles which are subsequently emitted. was produced by a () reaction on a natural magnesium target, in an external beam of 45-MeV protons from the UCLA cyclotron. A thin silicon detector and nanosecond electronics were used to suppress the large positron background usually present in this type of experiment. A method of measuring directly is discussed. transitions from states in at 7.43, 7.84, 8.74, 9.48, 10.28, 10.86, and 11.28 MeV have been observed and their intensities measured.
