Abstract
The low-lying levels in 59,60Cr have been populated with 13,14C(48Ca, 2p) reactions using a beam energy of 130 MeV. Prompt electromagnetic radiation was detected using the Gammasphere array, in coincidence with the detection of recoiling ions performed with the Fragment Mass Analyzer and a gas-filled ion chamber. The residues of interest were selected and identified on the basis of charge-to-mass ratio, energy-loss and time-of-flight measurements. These methods have isolated γ rays from the 2p evaporation channel for the first time. The low-lying structure of 59Cr is clearly inconsistent with the results of shell-model calculations within the full fp shell model and requires the inclusion of the g9/2 orbital. The sequence of states can be understood within the Nilsson model assuming a moderate oblate ground-state deformation. Preliminary results for 60Cr are discussed in terms of the development of deformation in the region. None of the low-lying structures observed so far exhibit a clear indication for a well-developed oblate shape. © 2005 American Institute of Physics.
