Abstract

Single-neutron transfer reactions have been measured on two N = 50 isotones at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF). The single-particle-like states of ⁸³Ge and ⁸⁵Se have been populated using radioactive ion beams of ⁸²Ge and ⁸⁴Se and the (d, p) reaction in inverse kinematics. The properties of the lowest-lying states --including excitation energies, orbital angular momenta, and spectroscopic factors-- have been determined for these N = 51 nuclei.
