Levels ofRb91andSr91fed in the decays ofKr91andRb91

Abstract
Level schemes for Rb91 and Sr91 are proposed based on the study of the β decay of Kr91 and Rb91, respectively. The samples were obtained using on-line mass-separation techniques applied to U235 fission products. γ-, β-, and x-ray singles spectra, as well as (γ,γ) and (β,γ) coincidence spectra, were taken with Ge(Li) and Si(Li) detectors. Internal-conversion coefficients were determined for several transitions and the half-lives for the first two levels in Rb91 and Sr91 were measured. In view of the observed parity change between low-lying excited states and the ground state in Rb91 the possibility of deformations to explain this level structure is discussed.
