Abstract
Excited states of the extremely neutron-deficient nucleus have been studied in an in-beam experiment using the fusion-evaporation reaction (,). rays belonging to feeding the ground state, as well as γ rays feeding the 311-keV isomer, decaying via the emission of γ rays, and the 52-keV α-decaying isomer have been identified using the recoil-α-decay tagging technique. Total Routhian surface calculations predict a near-spherical shape for the () ground state and oblate shapes with around −0.2 for the () and the () states. These predictions agree with our experimental findings.
