High spin states inTc93

Abstract
High spin states in the N=50 nucleus Tc93 were populated and studied using the reaction Zn66 (31P, 2p2n)93Tc at a beam energy of 115 MeV. Gamma ray intensities and gamma-gamma coincidences were measured. Multipolarities of the transitions were extracted assuming stretched transitions. The positive and negative parity bands have been extended up to spins 39/2+ and 43/2, respectively. The proposed level scheme above J=25/2 cannot be well understood on the basis of the spherical shell model calculations with valence protons occupying the (1f5/2,2p3/2,2p1/2,1g9/2) configuration space. The breaking of the N=50 neutron core appears to be a plausible mechanism for the observed high spin states.
