¹⁰⁰Mo(<i>t</i>, <i>p</i>)¹⁰²Mo Reaction at 15.8 MeV

Abstract

The excited states of 102 Mo from the ( t , p ) reaction are presented. New energy levels of 102 Mo and the angular distributions of protons leading to them are given and compared with a DWBA calculation. Comparing with the additional data of 98 Mo( t , p ) 100 Mo and those on the fission fragments by the Beakeley group, 102 Mo is shown to have characteristics of a transitional nucleus. A theoretical analysis by the QRPA with Woods-Saxon bound states was tentatively performed. The calculated cross-section ratios of the first 2 + and 3 - states to the ground state are a little smaller than the experimental ratios.
