Abstract
Spins, parities, and -decay branching ratios have been determined for a number of states in and using the (, )*() and (, )*() reactions. The nuclei were detected at 0°, and the alpha particles from the decay of the excited states formed in the (, ) reactions were detected over the range , typically corresponding to a range in the heavy-recoil center-of-mass system of . Structure observed at an excitation energy of 22.5±0.5 MeV in appears to correspond to an state which is then a candidate for identification as the member of the rotational band. In we have confirmed a number of spin assignments for states below 16 MeV in excitation, and in addition we have made the following assignments: 16.63 MeV (), 17.3 MeV (), 21.08 MeV (), and 22.87 MeV (). All of the branching ratios for the strongly populated states in are found to be roughly 100%, with the exception of those for the 17.3 MeV () and 21.08 MeV () levels which are found to be 40% and 65%, respectively.
