Low Energy States of $^{81}_{31} Ga_{50}$ : Elements on the Doubly-Magic Nature of $^{78}$Ni

Abstract

Excited levels were attributed to $^{81}_{31}$Ga$_{50}$ for the first time which were fed in the $β$-decay of its mother nucleus $^{81}$Zn produced in the fission of $^{nat}$U using the ISOL technique. We show that the structure of this nucleus is consistent with that of the less exotic proton-deficient N=50 isotones within the assumption of strong proton Z=28 and neutron N=50 effective shell effects.
