Low-Lying Levels inV50andCo58Studied with the (p, d) Reaction

Abstract

The low-lying levels in the odd-odd nuclei ${}_{}{}^{50}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{V}$ and ${}_{}{}^{58}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Co}$ were studied by means of the ($p, d$) reaction produced with 22-MeV protons from the ORNL 86-inch cyclotron. The deuteron spectra were obtained with a magnetic-spectrograph system having an over-all energy resolution of about 30 keV. The levels observed in ${}_{}{}^{50}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{V}$ are compared with recent calculations on $f_{\frac{7}{2}}$ shell nuclei. The levels observed in ${}_{}{}^{58}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Co}$ are used to calculate the expected level scheme for ${}_{}{}^{56}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Co}$.
