Abstract
The decay of has been studied from particle- coincidence data on the reaction. -ray spectra at excitation energies below have been studied and compared with previous measurements. Coincidences corresponding to have been used to constrain the shape of the nuclear level density and -strength function of by means of the Oslo method. The experimental -strength function presents an enhancement at energies below . In addition, a resonance-like structure centered at is seen together with accumulated strength at . The obtained results contribute to the systematic study of decay in the Ni isotopes, which is of great interest for the understanding of both single-particle and collective nuclear structure phenomena.
