Abstract

The highly sensitive GASP array at the INFN Legnaro Laboratory was used to study the -ray de-excitation of neutron-rich nuclei produced in the deep-inelastic processes which occur when 230 MeV ³⁶S ions interact with a target of ¹⁷⁶Yb. Yrast decay schemes were identified in over forty target-like fragments and in over twenty projectile-like fragments. Analysis of the data has resulted in extensions to the yrast decay sequences of the target-like species, ¹⁷⁶Hf, ¹⁶⁶Er, ¹⁷²Yb, and ¹⁵²Sm. New transitions have also been observed in a number of projectile-like species including ³⁴P and ⁴¹Cl. Experimental results are compared with the results of shell model calculations.
