Abstract
The semi-magic nucleus Y-89 has been investigated in a (gamma,gamma')
experiment at an endpoint energy of the bremsstrahlung of E-0 = 7 MeV.
The scattered photons have been detected with a EUROBALL Cluster
detector. The observed excitations are discussed in the framework of the
shell model and a coupling of the unpaired proton to multi-phonon
structures in the doubly even neighbours. Transitions above 4.7 MeV are
considered to have El character. Around 6.3 MeV an unusually large
concentration of El strength is found. Its origin is likely to
correspond to similar structures in the Sr-88 and Zr-90 isotones which
can be interpreted to result from the constructive interference of
strong two-phonon amplitudes with weak admixtures from the low-energy
tail of the giant dipole resonance. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
