Gamma-gamma angular-correlation measurements in the 44Ca(n, γ)45Ca reaction

Abstract

Angular correlation measurements of γ-radiation following thermal neutron capture in 44Ca have been performed with a combination of Ge(Li) and NaI detectors. Spins could be assigned to the following 45Ca levels (Ex in MeV): Jπ(0.17) = , , and assignment is consistent with recent shell-model calculations. Some E2/M1 mixing ratios of transitions between bound states of 45Ca have been determined.
