Gamma-Ray Decay Schemes forKr89andRb89

Abstract
A study has been made of γ-ray deexcitations following the β decays of Kr89 and Rb89. The activities were produced from the TRISTAN on-line isotope-separator system. Measurements of γ-ray energies and intensities were made using Ge(Li) detectors. Level schemes have been constructed for Rb89 and Sr89 with the aid of γγ coincidence information, and β branching was determined from equilibrium data and γ-intensity balances. The excited levels of Sr89 appear to be explained by single-particle states and the coupling of single-particle states to the vibration states of Sr88. The Rb89 nucleus is shown to have a complex level scheme and will require further studies to clarify the picture of its nuclear structure.
