The 23Na(α,γ) reaction has been studied in the region Eα = 2–3 MeV. The γ-ray spectra from a total of 16 resonances have been surveyed using a 40 cm3 Ge(Li) detector. Excitation energies, γ-ray decay modes, branching ratios, and γ-ray yields of these resonances are given. Below Eα = 2.7 MeV, all resonances have [Formula: see text] and the α-particle capture proceeds with [Formula: see text]. The resonances at Eα = 2.696 and 2.797 MeV have strong branches to the Jπ = 11/2+ state in 27Al at 4.509 MeV excitation energy. A measurement of γ-ray angular distributions at these resonances yields Jπ(2.969 res.) = 9/2+, 11/2 and Jπ(2.797 res.) = 9/2+ for the resonances, and Jπ(5.671) = 9/2+, 7/2 and Jπ(4.580) = 9/2+, 7/2 for bound states in 27Al. Investigation of this latter level at the Ep = 2.114 MeV resonance in the 26Mg(p,γ)27Al reaction restricts the spin to 7/2. New excited states in 27Al were found at Ex = 5.504, 5.671, and 7.815 MeV. A state at Ex = 5.499 MeV was confirmed.

Several bound states with excitation energy up to 7 MeV were studied in 26Mg, using the 26Mg(p, p′γ) reaction. The attenuated Doppler shift of the de excitation gamma rays was observed with a Ge(Li) spectrometer. The extracted lifetime estimates and branching ratios for 15 excited states suggest that the rotational bands, built on different intrinsic states, are mixed considerably. Incidental information on lifetimes and decay properties of states in 26Al is also presented.

A total of 22 resonances has been observed in the 44Ca(p,γ)45Sc reaction within the incident proton energy range of 600 to 930 keV. Gamma-ray singles spectra and γ-ray angular distribution data were accumulated for resonances at Ep = 856 and 906 keV. Both of these resonant states have been found to have spin 3/2. The measured angular distributions of primary γ rays from the resonant states have given spin information on the intermediate bound states of 45Sc with excitation energies above 2 MeV. A γ-ray decay scheme has been derived from the γ-ray spectra. The data indicate new levels at 2151.0, 3525.2, 3548.5, 3584.0, and 3714.3 keV.

The properties of the low-lying excited states in 53Mn were studied by measuring γ-ray angular distributions and lifetimes using the 53Cr(p,nγ)53Mn reaction. Energy levels of 53Mn have been found at 0.378, 1.288, 1.440, 1.619, 2.272, 2.405, 2.572, 2.670, 2.687, 2.705, 2.872, 2.876, 2.914, 2.947, 3.005, 3.095, 3.125, 3.183, 3.193, and 3.250 MeV. The measurement of γ-ray angular distributions and yield curves together with predictions based on the compound nuclear statistical model have enabled spin assignments to be made to the following excited states in 53Mn: 1.440 MeV (11/2), 1.619 MeV (9/2), 2.572 MeV (7/2), 2.687 MeV (7/2), 2.947 MeV (9/2), 3.005 MeV (5/2). Multipole mixing ratios and branching ratios were determined for some of the observed transitions. Lifetimes of nine excited states in 53Mn have been measured using the Doppler-shift attenuation method.

The excitation energies calculated by the HAM/3 procedure for ΠΠ* transitions in linear molecules can be internally inconsistent by as much as ± 0.6 eV. In the recent study by Åsbrink etal., the problem was avoided by adopting Recknagel's expressions and requiring the proper average ΠΠ* excitation energy. In this paper, we trace the small inconsistency back to its origin in HAM/3 theory and derive the analytical expression for the energy correction as well as Recknagel's formulas. Numerical examples studied include all seven linear molecules investigated by Åsbrink etal. The explicit expression for the correction enables us to perform meaningful configuration-interaction calculations on the excited states, as illustrated by the carbon suboxide molecule.

We summarize studies of Λ hypernuclei with stopped K− reaction carried out at KEK. The π− momentum spectra in the (stopped K−, π−) reaction were measured with light nuclear targets (4He, 7Li, 9Be, 12C and 16O). The ground and excited states of Λ4He, Λ12C and Λ16O were identified and their formation probabilities were measured. The branching ratios of π0-mesonic decay of Λ4He, Λ11B and Λ12C were measured for the first time with π0 coincidence. The lifetime of Λ4H was also determined with an improved accuracy. The π− peak intensity from Λ4H→4He+π− decay gave the Λ4H formation probabilities on these targets, where Λ4H is produced as hyperfragment except for the case of the 4He target. Concerning the formation mechanism of hyperfragments and their application to hypernuclear γ-ray spectroscopy, the running experiments and future prospects are also described.

Positive parity states in 165Er have been studied using the 167Er(p,t)165Er reaction. Two 7/2+ states at excitation energies of 63 and 465 keV were populated via l = 0 transitions. Because of the lack of a pronounced minimum in the l = 0 angular distributions, some l ≠ 0 strength may contribute to the population processes. Eight l ≠ 0 transitions were seen below 1 MeV excitation energy. A description of the observed positive parity levels has been attempted in the context of a Coriolis coupled Nilsson model calculation.

The excited states of 73 As have been investigated via the 73 Ge ( p , n γ)73 As reaction with proton beam energies from 2.5–4.3 MeV. The lifetimes of the levels at 769.6, 860.5, 1177.8, 1188.7, 1274.9, 1344.1, 1557.1 and 1975.2 keV excitation energies have been measured for the first time using the Doppler shift attenuation method. The angular distributions have been used to assign the spins and the multipole mixing ratios using statistical theory for compound nuclear reactions. The ambiguity in the spin values for the various levels has been removed. The multipole mixing ratios for eight γ-transitions have been newly measured.

Proton–gamma coincidences from the reaction 32S(α,pγ)35Cl at Eα = 10.975, 11.960, and 12.120 MeV have been measured, using method II of Litherland and Ferguson. Twelve previously unreported levels between 3.94 and 6.40 MeV excitation energy have been found. The spins of four levels, 1.763 (5/2), 2.646 (7/2), 3.945 (9/2), and 4.885 (7/2), have been determined. Possible spins have been assigned to 12 of the other levels. Branching ratios and γ-ray multipole mixing ratios for all the levels studied are given.

Gamma-rays from the 83 Sr (β++ EC )83 Rb decay have been investigated with Compton suppressed HpGe detectors. The activity was produced via the 85 Rb (p,3n) reaction at 27.1 MeV beam energy. Singles in multispectra mode and γ–γ coincidence experiments were performed. Approximately 190 transitions including 94 new transitions and 19 new levels were assigned to 83 Rb , based on their measured half-life and/or observation in coincidence with well-known lines. A decay scheme has been constructed consisting of 41 excited states and 180 transitions in 83 Rb . Additional new information has been obtained on γ-ray branching ratios, log ft values, spins and parities.

Review of calculation results for astrophysical [Formula: see text]-factor of the [Formula: see text]N[Formula: see text]O capture reaction in the [Formula: see text]N channel of [Formula: see text]O was presented. It was carried out in the frame of the modified potential cluster model (MPCM) taking into account resonances in the [Formula: see text]O spectrum up to 3.2[Formula: see text]MeV at energy of incident protons varying of 30[Formula: see text]keV to 5[Formula: see text]MeV. It is possible to describe experimental data for the astrophysical [Formula: see text]-factors of the radiative proton capture on [Formula: see text]N to five excited states of [Formula: see text]O at excitation energies of 5.18[Formula: see text]MeV to 6.86[Formula: see text]MeV, only under assumption, that all five resonances are [Formula: see text] scattering waves. Quality new physical interpretation of the capture mechanism is discussed in this channel to the ground state of [Formula: see text]O. We assumed that the ground state of [Formula: see text]O is determined by the [Formula: see text]N[Formula: see text] channel with excited [Formula: see text]N[Formula: see text] cluster, which immediately allowed us to correctly describe order of values of the experimental [Formula: see text]-factor for capture to this state. Taking into account these results, the total [Formula: see text]-factor of the proton capture on [Formula: see text]N and the reaction rates to the ground and five excited states of [Formula: see text]O were determined at temperatures of 0.01[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] to 10[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]. The parametrization of the total reaction rate with a simple form is performed, which allows as to obtain [Formula: see text] equal to 0.06 with 5% errors of the calculated rate.
