Medium and high spin structure in the $^{94}$Y isotope produced in fission induced by cold neutrons
Résumé
The level scheme of the neutron-rich 94Y isotope has been extended up to the 5324 keV excitation energy. During the analysis, a structure above the previously known (5+) isomer, at 1202 keV, was extended by employing multifold gamma-ray coincidence relationships measured with the EXILL array. For some of the new states, the spin-parity assignment has been proposed on the basis of gamma angular correlations and shell-model considerations. The newly identified structure is characteristic of spherical or nearly spherical configurations and no evidence for new isomers and rotational patterns was found.
