PT Journal AU Moschner, Kea Algora, A TI Relativistic Coulomb excitation of Kr-88 SO Physical Review C JI Phys. Rev. C PY 2016 BP 054323 EP 5pp VL 94 IS 5 DI 10.1103/PhysRevC.94.054323 LA English AB To investigate the systematics of mixed-symmetry states in N = 52 isotones, a relativistic Coulomb excitation experiment was performed during the PreSPEC campaign at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum fur Schwerionenforschung to determine E2 transition strengths to 2(+) states of the radioactive nucleus Kr-88. Absolute transition rates could be measured towards the first and third 2+ states. For the latter a mixed-symmetry character is suggested on the basis of the indication for a strong M1 transition to the fully symmetric 2(1)(+) state, extending the knowledge of the N = 52 isotones below Z = 40. A comparison with the proton-neutron interacting boson model and shell-model predictions is made and supports the assignment. ER
