Study of Core Coupling inRb87Through Isobaric-Analog Resonances. II

Abstract
The level structure of the Kr86-Kr87 system has been investigated by means of the inelastic scattering of protons through isobaric-analog resonances (IAR's). 24 levels in Kr86 between 1.55 and 5.07 MeV have been identified in the spectra. Excitation-function data indicate that coupling of the d52 single particle to excited states of Kr86 provides important contributions to the wave function of the IAR's. The coefficients describing the coupling of single-particle states to the excited core states in Kr86 were extracted from the angular-distribution measurements of the inelastic proton decay of the 5.348-, 6.826-, and 8.374-MeV IAR's. The inclusion of these coefficents together with previously deduced elastic spectroscopic factors allows a rather full description of the wave functions for the parent analog states of these IAR's. A calculation of the wave functions and binding energies in terms of a simple core-coupling model has been performed for the d and s states in Kr87. The calculation shows good agreement with the results of the analysis of the proton decay of the IAR for the low-lying states.
