Spectroscopy of ⁵⁰V with (p, nγ) reaction

Abstract

Information on the low-lying levels up to ~1.9 MeV excitation of the doubly odd nucleus⁵⁰V has been obtained through the Ge (Li)-Ge (Li) coincidence study with the ⁵⁰Ti(p, n γ)⁵⁰V reaction. Branching ratios have been measured and tentative spin-parity assignments have been made. A detailed comparison with other measurements reported recently has also been made. Using the lowest seniority wave functions with (f_7/2)_p³ (f_7/2)_n^-1 configuration, energy levels and electromagnetic properties have been calculated. These have been compared with the present and earlier experimental data.
