Study of low-lying 0+ excitations in228Th and232,234,236U in the (p, t) reaction

Abstract

The (p, t) reaction was studied at 22 MeV proton energy using targets of230,232Th and234,236,238U. In228Th we observed in addition to the 832 keV first-excited 0+ level a second-excited 0+ level at 939 keV populated with 5% of the ground-state strength. A 0+ level proposed recently in232U at 927 keV was not observed in the (p, t) reaction, with an upper limit for its excitation of 0.2% of the ground-state strength. In234U a level at 1045 keV, assigned in the literature as second-excited 0+ level, is weakly populated in the (p, t) reaction but does not show the angular distribution characteristic for single-stepL=0 transfer. In236U we observed a level at 1036 keV with an angular distribution suggesting that it might be a doublet composed of a known 3− level and a new 0+ level. The properties of the first two excited 0+ bands in228Th,232U and234U are compared and discussed.
