FirstT=2Level inP32

Abstract
The first Jπ=0+, T=2 level in P32 has been found at an excitation 5073.4±1.5 keV using the reaction Si30(He3, pγ)P32 at 8.02-MeV incident energy. The angular distribution has been analyzed with the distorted-wave Born-approximation formalism. Using a Ge(Li) detector, the γ-decay scheme of this level has been established. The following branching ratios to the ground state, the 1.149-, and the 2.230-MeV levels are, respectively: (5.3±0.9), (84.0±8.5), and (10.7±1.4)%. This is compared with the decay scheme of its analog state in S32.
