High-spin states inZr92

Abstract
High-spin states have been investigated with the Sr88(Li7,p2n)Zr92 reaction by γ-γ coincidence, γ-ray angular distribution, and pulsed beam-γ timing measurements with Ge(Li) detectors. Decay schemes, level energies, and spin-parity information were obtained for Zr92 from the data. The high-spin states involving the (π1g92)2(ν2d52)2 configuration were identified, with the (12+) member being at 4947 keV. Tentative identification of the members of the (π1g92π2p12)(ν2d52)2 configuration has also been made. The observed experimental levels in Zr92 are compared with recent theoretical calculations.
