AbstractAbstract
[en] Angular correlation measurements were made on gamma-ray cascades in 140Ba, 90Sr, and 140Cs. These fission-product activities were isobarically enhanced from Kr and Xe noble-gas parents, which were mass-separated by the TRISTAN isotope separator system. Levels in 140Ba were populated from the 64-sec decay of 140Cs, and in 140Cs from the 14-sec decay of 140Xe. Levels in 90Sr were populated from the 2.7-min decay of 90Rb, which was populated from the decay of 90Kr. The most intense transitions were measured in coincidence with the first excited state to ground state transition in even-even 140Ba and 90Sr. The two-parameter mode of data accumulation was used to study cascades with transitions in coincidence with the 806-keV and 989-keV transitions in odd-odd 140Cs. In the study of cascades in 140Ba definite spin assignments were made for eight levels, and tentative spin assignments for five levels. For 90Sr definite spin assignments were made for eight levels, and tentative assignments for six levels. A definite 1- spin-parity assignment was made for the 103-keV level in 140Cs, and tentative assignments were made for five other levels. Values are given for the angular correlation coefficients, and limits of multipolarity mixing ratios are given where applicable. (44 figures, 3 tables) (U.S.)
