Abstract
The level structure of 227Ra has been studied using the (n, γ), (d, p) and (t, d) reactions and the β- decay of 227Fr. A model-independent level scheme was established including 28 levels below 1500 keV. Cross sections and excitation energies have been measured for 72 levels below 2.5 MeV and analysing powers have been measured for 25 levels below 1.4 MeV. The level structure is interpreted in terms of the Nilsson model. The ground-state configuration is 3 2+[631↑] and the first excited band [633↓] starts at 1.7 keV. Several octupole vibrations coupled to single-particle configurations are tentatively assigned above 280 keV. The neutron binding energy was determined to be 4561.41 ± 0.27 keV. The half-life of 227Fr was measured to be 148 ± 2 s.
