Spectroscopy of 101Mo by sub-Coulomb stripping

Sub-Coulomb stripping has been employed to study ¹⁰¹Mo with 3.75-MeV deuterons. Proton groups assigned to states in ¹⁰¹Mo at excitation energies of 0, 57, 239, 290, 349, 480, 540, 561, 812, 851, and 898 keV were observed. The states at 349, 561, and 851 keV have not been reported previously. The ground state and the excited state at 349 keV have been shown to be 1/2⁺ states with spectroscopic factors of 0.42 and 0.16. Tentative assignments of $l_n=2$ have been made for the states at 57, 239, 290, and 480 keV. Assuming a 3/2⁺ nature for these states, the spectroscopic factors are 0.25, 0.09, 0.12, and 0.11, respectively. The sum of the spectroscopic factors for l=0 and l=2 transitions are shown to be consistent with previous results from stripping and pickup reactions on neighboring nuclei.
