Parity measurements in odd-odd 86Nb

Nb-86 was produced using the Ni-58(S-32,3pn) reaction at 130 MeV. gamma-ray linear polarizations were measured with a four-crystal "clover" Compton polarimeter. Results from this and an angular distribution measurement have led to spin-parity assignments for the 6(-), 7(+), and 8(+) low-lying states. [S0556-2813(99)02204-9].
