Description

The 37Cl(3He, αγ)36Cl reaction was studied at 18 MeV, using an enriched CaCl2 target. The γ rays coincident with the α particles emitted at forward angle were detected by two Ge(Li) detectors located at theta=90degree and 125degree. Forty-two levels were observed in 36Cl, essentially those seen in the (p,d) reaction. The γ-decay schemes of the two lowest lying T=2 levels of 36Cl (analogs of the first two levels of 36S, J/sup pi/=0+ and 2+, respectively) have been determined. The lowest T=2 level at E/subx/=4299.5+-1.1 keV, feeds three levels: E/subx/=1165 keV (J/sup pi/=1+, 65+-8%), E/subx/=1601 keV (J/sup pi/=1+, 28+-5%), and E/subx/=2677 keV (J/sup pi/=1+, 7+-3%). The second one at E/subx/=7564+-4 keV feeds the levels at E/subx/=1601 keV (42+-6%), E/subx/=1960 keV (J/sup pi/=2+, 40+-6%), and E/subx/=2491 keV (J/sup pi/=2+, 18+-4%). These decay schemes are compared with shell model predictions. Some other levels of 36Cl are also discussed
