Abstract
The nuclear structure of has been investigated via measurements of the /EC decay of with the -ray spectrometer at the TRIUMF-ISAC facility. The data collected have enabled branching ratio measurements of weak, low-energy transitions from highly excited states, and the in-band transitions have been observed. Combining these results with those from a previous Coulomb excitation study, W.u. and W.u. were determined. The state, in particular, is interpreted as the main fragment of the proton-pairing vibrational band identified in a previous () measurement, and has quadrupole collectivity equal to, within uncertainty, that of the ground-state band.
