Abstract
The $\beta^+$ - electron capture decay of 73Kr, produced at the ISOLDE CERN facility, has been studied by $\beta$-delayed proton and gamma emission. The established decay scheme involves 15 up to now unreported gamma emitting levels in 73Br. The total proton branching ratio has been measured to be $0.0025 \pm 0.0003$. From this work, a spin and parity 3/2- is assigned to the 73Kr ground state, on the basis of the allowed $\beta$ branch to the 73Br $J^{\pi}=1/2^-$ ground state and the feeding of the 5/2+ level located at 286 keV in 73Br.
