Kr84(t,p)Kr86andKr86(t,p)Kr88reactions

Abstract
The Kr86 and Kr88 nuclei have been studied by the Kr84,86(t,p) reactions at Et=17.0 MeV. Energy levels up to 6400 and 4400 keV excitation in Kr86 and Kr88, respectively, were observed. Differential cross sections for many excited states have been extracted from 12° to 50° c.m. for Kr88 and 12° to 55° c.m. for Kr86. The data are compared with DWBA calculations in order to obtain the angular momentum (L) transfer as well as nuclear structure information. The excited L=0 strength leading to Kr86 in the region where the pairing vibration is expected is found to be fractionated and about 23 of the intensity of the Kr86Kr88 (g.s.) transition strength. Strong L=2 transitions are found above this excited L=0 strength in Kr86 and appear to have their parentage in the pairing quadrupole states represented by the first 2+ level in Kr88. The Kr86 spectrum and transition strengths as found in the (t,p) reaction are compared with the Kr86(p,p) and Rb87(t,α) experiments.
