ENERGY LEVELS IN CHROMIUM-52

BS>The excited states of Cr/sup 52/ have been studied through the elsetic proton scattering from chromium. A 6.51-Mev proton beam from an electrostatic generator and a high-resolution magnetic spectrograph were used. Excited states in Cr/sup 52/ were found at 1.433, 2.368, 2.648, 2.767, 2.965, and 3.161 Mev. The Q-value for the ground-state transition in Mn/sup 55/(p, alpha )Cr/sup 52/ is 2 568 plus or minus 0 008 Mev. (auth)
