Electromagnetic transitions inAl30

Deexcitation $\gamma$ rays of ${}_{}{}^{30}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Al}$ following the ${}_{}{}^{14}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$(${}_{}{}^{18}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$,pn)${}_{}{}^{30}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Al}$ fusion-evaporation reaction have been observed in singles, in coincidence with the evaporated protons, and in coincidence with other $\gamma$ rays in cascade. Gamma-ray yield curves were measured over the ${}_{}{}^{18}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ beam energy range 15-35 MeV. Angular distributions of $\gamma$ rays observed in coincidence with protons at 0° were measured for four transitions. Limits on level lifetimes were determined, and no evidence for a long-lived isomeric transition was found. Excitation energies deduced are, in keV: 0, 243.90(8), 687.53(12), 991.0(9), 1118.7(7), and 1245.6(8). Corresponding spins and parities are $3^{+}$, ${\mathrm{}(1,2)\mathrm{}}^{\pm }$, $1^{+}$, ${\mathrm{}(2,3,4)\mathrm{}}^{\pm }$, ${\mathrm{}(1,2,3)\mathrm{}}^{\pm }$, and ${\mathrm{}\left(4\right)\mathrm{}}^{\pm }$, respectively. The results are compared to recent shell model calculations.
