Abstract

Excited states in the neutron-rich 70Fe nucleus were populated in a one-proton removal reaction from 71Co projectiles at 87 MeV/nucleon. A new transition was observed with the γ-ray tracking array GRETINA and shown to feed the previously assigned 4+1 state. In comparison to reaction theory calculations with shell-model spectroscopic factors, it is argued that the new γ ray possibly originates from the 6+1 state. It is further shown that the Doppler-reconstructed γ-ray spectra are sensitive to the very different lifetimes of the 2+ and 4+ states, enabling their approximate measurement. The emerging structure of 70Fe is discussed in comparison to LNPS-new large-scale shell-model calculations.
