Abstract

The reactions ^54,58Fe(d, α.)^52,56Mn have been studied using 15 MeV deuterons, and angular distributions of outgoing α-particles have been measured up to an excitation energy of about 3 MeV and 1.3 MeV respectively.

Some unexpected deviations from the direct reaction mechanism are shown for the ⁵⁴Fe(d, α)⁵²Mn reaction, which might possibly be due to special configurations in the 1f_$72$ shell.

Angular momenta as well as spectroscopic strengths have been determined by means of DWBA calculations. In particular an approximate relation was sought which would enable an interpretation of spectroscopie strengths even in the case of configuration mixing.

The results provide spectroscopic information about the amount of seniority and configuration mixing in the level structure of the ^52,56Mn isotopes.

Study of gamma ray transitions and level scheme of Mn2556 using the Mn2555(n<inf>th</inf>,2γ) reaction
2019, Nuclear Physics A
This work provides new data about the level scheme of ${}_{25}^{56}{Mn}$ studied by the ${}_{25}^{55}{Mn}$ ( $n_{t h}$ ,2γ) reaction. The spectroscopic information were collected using the gamma-gamma coincidence spectrometer at the Technische Universität München, Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ), Garching, Germany. The intensities, energies of primary and secondary transitions of 71 energy-resolved cascades, as well as intermediate cascade levels were determined. The updated level scheme of ${}_{25}^{56}{Mn}$ was obtained from analyzing the intensity spectra of the strongest cascades. The comparison with the existing data in the ENSDF database shows that 23 primary transitions, 24 intermediate cascades levels as well as 32 secondary transitions determinated in this work can be recommended as new nuclear data.

The nuclear structure data belonging to all nuclei with mass number A=52 have been compiled and evaluated using experimental nuclear reaction data and decay data available before July 10, 2015. This evaluaton supersedes the previous publication for this msss chain (2007Hu08, Nuclear Data Sheets 108, 773 (2007)). The data for the ε decay of ⁵²Co (104 ms) and the ε decay of ⁵²Ni (40.8 ms) are both incomplete, so new studies would be useful.
