High spin states in stable nucleus 84Sr

High spin states of 84Sr were populated through the reaction 70Zn(18O,4n)84Sr at 75 MeV beam energy.Measurement of excitation function,γ-γ coincidences,directional correlation from oriented state (DCO) ratios and γ-transition intensities were performed using eight anticompton HPGe detectors and one planar HPGe detector.Based on the measured results,a new level scheme of 84Sr was established in which 12 new states and nearly 30 new γ-transitions were identified in the present work.The positive-parity states of the new level scheme were compared with the results from calculations in the framework of the projected shell model (PSM).One negative-parity band was extended to spin Iπ=19-and it can be found that in the high spin states,the γ-transition energies show the nature of signature staggering.The negative-parity band levels are in good agreement with deformed configuration-mixing shell model (DCM) calculations.
