Abstract

Excitation functions and angular distributions of γ-rays in the reaction ⁵⁴Cr(p, nγ)⁵⁴Mn were measured in order to establish the spins and parities of levels in ⁵⁴Mn. Gamma-ray spectra from the ⁵¹V(α, nγ)⁵⁴Mn reaction were also measured. Using the theoretical predictions of the statistical compound-nucleus model, unique spin assignments were obtained for the 54.5 keV (2⁺), 156.2 keV (4⁺), 368.1 keV (5⁺), 407.4 keV (3⁺), 1009.9 keV (3⁺) and 1374.5 keV (2) levels in ⁵⁴Mn. The most probable spins for the other levels were found to be 838.9 keV (4 or 5), 1073 keV (4, 5, 6 or 7), 1136.2 keV (4, 5 or 6), 1390.7 keV (1 or 0⁺), 1454.2 keV (1⁺ or 0⁺) and 1508.7 keV (2 or 3). Branching ratios and multipole mixing ratios for the γ-rays observed were also obtained. These results were compared with recent theoretical predictions.
