ExcitedKπ=0+Rotational Band inSi28

Abstract
An excited Kπ=0+ band in Si28 which can be associated with the prolate Hartree-Fock solution has been observed in the reactions Mg25(α,nγ) and Al27(p,γ). The Iπ=0+ through 6+ band members have been located at Ex=6691, 7381, 9164, and 11509 keV, respectively. Strong distortion is indicated from B(E2) values, resulting in |Q0|=87685+110 mb.
