Abstract

Gamma-ray angular distributions in oriented Mo produced via the Li+Y reaction were studied in this work. The characteristic rays in Mo were measured by means of the GALILEO array, which is composed of 25 Compton-suppressed HPGe detectors arranged in a nearly 2 geometry. A detailed analysis of the spin-alignment attenuation factors () for different excited states in Mo was performed, by analyzing the measured angular distribution coefficients of several pure-E2 transitions. The relationship between and the spin was established in Mo and the 244-keV transition between the 5 and 4 states resulted to have a E1 + M2 character with a mixing ratio () of , consistent with shell model calculations.
