Abstract
The nucleus Zn-64 is predicted to be gamma unstable at low spin, but g amma stable at spins of 8h $($) over bar$$ and above. In order to see if this structural change is manifested in the decay scheme, this nucl eus has been studied via gamma gamma, recoil-gamma, and recoil-gamma g amma coincidence techniques using the reaction C-12(Fe-54,2p) at 155 M eV. Twenty new levels have been observed with spins of up to 12h $$($) over bar, but no evidence is observed for the predicted onset of gamm a stability.
