Abstract

A Recoil-Beta Tagging (RBT) experiment was recently performed at the accelerator laboratory at the University of Jyväskylä in order to identify T=1 excited states in the medium-heavy N=Z=33 nucleus As. The fusion-evaporation reaction Si(Ca,pn) As was employed at a beam energy of 75 MeV. The experiment was carried out utilising the JUROGAM II γ-ray spectrometer in conjunction with the gas-filled recoil separator RITU and the GREAT focal plane spectrometer system. The half-lives and ordering of the two known isomeric states in As have been determined. In addition, several new prompt γ-ray transitions from excited states both bypassing and decaying to the isomeric states in As have been observed. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.
