Complete particle-core multiplets populated in /sup 99/Ru by the (/sup 3/He,2n. gamma. ) reaction

Extensive sets of yrast and nonyrast states in /sup 99/Ru have been populated by the reaction /sup 98/Mo(/sup 3/He,2n..gamma..)/sup 99/Ru. The population of nonyrast states is attributable to the characteristics of the reaction rather than the specifics of the nuclear structure involved. Several complete particle-core multiplets have been successfully interpreted with a particle-rotor model.
