Description

An essential property of collectivity is the proton-neutron degree of freedom, that leads to the so-called states of mixed symmetry. Predictions for the electromagnetic decay of the lowest-lying mixed-symmetry state 2MS,1+ in vibrator-like even-A nuclei are a strong M1 decay to the fully-symmetric 21+ state and a weak collective E2 decay to the ground state 01+. Excited states in 62Zn have been studied via the 61Ni(3He,2nγ) reaction using the HORUS-cube spectrometer of the Institute for Nuclear Physics in Cologne. Two fragments of the mixed-symmetry state 2MS,1+ could be identified by determining absolute M1 transition strengths to the 21+ state.
