Abstract
High spin states in the 96Tc nucleus were populated in the 75As(28Si, 4p3n) fusion-evaporation reaction at E
lab = 120 MeV and the de-excitations were investigated through in-beam γ-ray spectroscopic techniques using indian national gamma array spectrometer consisting of 18 clover Ge detectors. The present level scheme of the 96Tc nucleus has been extended substantially with the addition of about forty five new γ transitions. The level structures in 96Tc have been established up to excitation energy ∼10 MeV and angular momentum ∼25ℏ. Level structures of 96Tc nucleus are discussed in the framework of triaxial projected shell model calculations.
