Abstract
Spins and parities of high spin states above the particle-binding threshold in were determined with a basis expansion technique using triple and quadruple angular correlations between particles and rays. The first unambiguous identification of a state is reported. Located at 19.2(1) MeV, this state decays predominantly by emission, although a candidate -decay branch with a 5.927 MeV transition connecting this level to the rotational state at 13.2 MeV was identified as well. The corresponding branching ratio is .
