Yrast decay schemes from heavy-ion + 48Ca fusion-evaporation reactions II. 5960Fe and 5960Co

Fusion-evaporation reactions induced by beams of 25--55-MeV 15N and 18O on an isotopically enriched 48Ca target have been used to populate high-spin yrast levels in 5960Fe and 5960Co. Measurements consisted of γ-ray excitation functions, angular distributions, γ-γ coincidences, and recoil-distance and Doppler-shift lifetime measurements, from which were deduced the energy levels, γ-ray branching ratios, most probable spin-parity assignments, and level lifetimes. The results of p-γ correlation measurements in the 58Fe(t,pγ)60Fe reaction are also reported
