Abstract

The dipole response of the open-shell nuclide 70Ge has been inves- ′ tigated in high-resolution (γ,γ ) experiments using bremsstrahlung produced with electron beams of energies of 8.5 and 14.7 MeV at the linear accelerator ELBE. A resonance-like structure of levels mostly with spin J = 1 has been identified, dis- tributed between 5 MeV up to neutron separation energy Sn as in the case of 76Ge and in contast to 74Ge where the level density is lower and ceases abruptly at about 1 MeV below Sn. The distibution strength was complemented by the unresolved levels using simulations of statistical γ-ray cascades, corrected by estimations of branching transitions. The summed strength in 70Ge, completed by the data from 74,76Ge do not fit with a linear trend as function of the neutron excess. Such unex- pected behaviour might be related to the nuclear deformation which seems to play the major role in the moderately deformed Germanium isotopic chain.
