⁷²Ge from the ⁷⁰Ge(t,p) reaction

The reaction ⁷⁰Ge(t,p)⁷²Ge has been investigated with a 15-MeV triton beam. 30 levels of ⁷²Ge were observed up to about 4-MeV excitation, four of which were unreported previously. Angular distributions were measured and compared with distorted-wave Born-approximation calculations. Several new 0+ states have been observed in ⁷²Ge, one of which, at 1.709 MeV, is a new state and is the third 0+ level in ⁷²Ge. Many additional spin and parity assignments have been made. The ⁷²Ge nucleus shows a pattern of 0+ states that is considerable different from that of other even Ge isotopes. But for higher spins and both parities, ⁷²Ge is very similar to other even Ge nuclei.
