Structure of 96 Mo at high spins Original Research Article

High-spin states of 96 Mo ( Z=42 , N=54 ) nucleus have been investigated through the 82 Se( View the MathML source ) reaction at View the MathML source MeV. The excited states have been extended upto 10 MeV and the levels with Jπ=20+ spins have been observed in the present experiment while the earlier information for the same was available only upto 4.8 MeV. A significant modification of the existing level scheme is also being proposed. The properties of the observed levels have been compared with shell-model calculations using OXBASH code. The analysis of the result shows that level structure exhibits mainly single particle character.
