Level structure of Ge-74

ORAL

Abstract

The current data for the level structure of Ge-74 from many sources will be~ \newline presented and supplemented by new data from multi-nucleon transfer reactions~using a wide range of beam and target combinations with Gammasphere. Data~will be presented to support a spin and parity assignment of 5$^{\mathrm{-}}$ for the~level at 2935.5 keV. Transitions between members of the proposed gamma band~and negative-parity levels will be shown and both kinds of structures~discussed in the context of the triaxiality described by Ragnarsson, Nilsson~and Sheline. Interpretations for the structure of the adjacent nuclei, Ge-72~and Ge-76 have been reported by Ayangeakaa et al., and Toh et al., respectively. \newline I. Ragnarsson, S. G. Nilsson, and R. K.
