Abstract
The medium spin, near yrast states of the shell nuclei and have been studied following the fusion evaporation of a beam and a target. Discrete transitions were unambiguously identified using the AYEBALL gamma-ray array in conjunction with the Argonne fragment mass analyzer and a split anode ionization chamber. The decay schemes of and have been extended with the results of gamma-gamma coincidences and directional correlation from oriented state measurements used to determine the level excitation energies, spins, and parities of a number of near yrast states. The decay schemes deduced are compared with previous work and interpreted in terms of shell model calculations, with a restricted basis of the orbitals outside a core, and either the orbital with a closed core, or excitations from the core.
