Abstract
Low-spin, high-excitation energy states in Y have been studied using the Y() reaction. For this experiment a 25 MeV proton beam was incident upon a monoisotopic Y target. A silicon telescope array was used to detect deuterons, and coincident rays were detected using a germanium clover array. Most of the known low-excitation-energy low-spin states populated strongly via the () reaction mechanism are confirmed. Two states are seen for the first time and seven new transitions, including one which bypasses the two low-lying isomeric states, are observed.
