Abstract
The low-lying excited states of and were investigated using knockout reactions on a liquid hydrogen target combined with -ray spectroscopy. Four new transitions were observed in , and a single ray was identified in . Comparison with shell-model calculations allowed the assignment of the observed transitions to specific theoretical levels. The energies of the and states in suggest the presence of triaxial deformation.
