Abstract:
High-spin level structure of
95Nb has been investigated using the multi-detector array of the conjoint gamma array in China via the
82Se(
18O, p4n)
95Nb. Based on γ-γ coincidence relationships, the level scheme of
95Nb has been modified and extended with 25 new γ rays and 15 new levels. The new level structure of
95Nb has been compared with the shell model calculations. It is suggested that the proton core excitation(
f5/2→
g9/2) across Z = 38 sub-shell should be taken into account in order to adequately describe the high-spin level structure in
95Nb above spin of 39/2.
