Investigation of the nuclear structure of technetium-101
Abstract
The structure of $\sp{101}$Tc was studied using the $\sp{100}$Mo($\sp3$He, pn)$\sp{101}$Tc reaction, which populated most non-yrast states below 2MeV. The reaction was enhanced by keeping only $\gamma$ rays in coincidence with a detected proton. Gamma-ray spectroscopy experiments included $\gamma$-ray excitation functions, $\gamma$-ray angular distributions, and $\gamma$-$\gamma$ coincidences. The results were compared to a particle-plus-rotor model calculation, with the Coriolis interaction included. The data demonstrates that $\sp{101}$Tc displays rotational features.
