Coulomb Excitation of $^{49}$Cr
POSTER
Abstract
We measured gamma rays in coincidence with $^{49}$Cr particles scattered from a $^{209}$Bi target with a mid-target beam energy of 58 MeV/u at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. We used GEANT simulations to extract the probability of populating the 272 keV 7/2$^{-}$ state of $^{49}$Cr via Coulomb excitation. This result is compared with existing measurements and shell model calculations.
