First observation of high spin states in 90 Tc

High spin states in90Tc have been studied via the58Ni (35Cl, 2pn)90Tc reaction at beam energy of 124 MeV. Twenty-six newγ-rays were observed, a new level scheme was established and spins were assigned. Two band-like structures were established up to about 20ħ with an excitation energy of 6–7 MeV. The band (B) shows collective characteristic at high spin. We suggest it to be of a quasi-particle configurationπg9/2⊗vf5/2.
