Abstract

The decay of Zn80 to levels in Ga80 has been studied from mass-separated activity produced in the thermal neutron fission of U235. Based on singles and coincidence measurements, 26 rays were placed in a level scheme for Ga80 with 13 excited states up to 2655 keV. The emission of a ray resulting from delayed neutron emission of Ga80 is also reported. The structure of the Ga80 level scheme is discussed. The properties of Zn80 and Ga80 reported here are of astrophysical interest for modeling the r process.
