Abstract

Results of a Cr-nat(gamma, gamma') experiment at the S-DALINAC are reported for energies up to 7 MeV utilizing a Euroball Cluster detector. The excitation of a J = 1 state at 5544 keV is observed which is believed to belong to Cr-52 because of the strength of the signal and the large natural abundance. By a variety of empirical arguments a quadrupole-octupole-coupled two-phonon 1(-) character is suggested for this transition. Quasiparticle random-phase-approximation (QRPA) calculations are able to reproduce the energy and B(E1) transition strength remarkably well. The underlying microscopic structure is suggested to be more complex than a pure two-phonon picture. Furthermore, the calculations indicate a pure neutron (2p(3/2)(-1)2p(1/2)) magnetic dipole structure for an excitation experimentally seen at 5098 keV which would provide a direct measure of ground-state correlations in Cr-52.
