g-Factor of theT 1/2=35 ns isomeric state in154Er

1983

The reaction32S+126Te has been used to determine theg-factor of theT 1/2=35 ns yrast isomeric state in154Er through the time-differential spin-rotation method. The experimental valueg=+0.017±0.003 agrees with an aligned two-neutron ν(i13/2,h9/2) main configuration and supports an 11− spin-parity assignment for the isomeric state. Unambiguous spin-parity assignment for upper energy yrast states can be deduced. The properties of the isomeric state are discussed.
