High spin states in Ge-70

High spin states in Ge-70 nucleus have been studied in two different experi ments using heavy ion fusion evaporation reaction. The Gamma Detector Array , comprising of eight Compton-suppressed High Purity Ge detectors, was used in conjunction with a recoil mass spectrometer - the HIRA - in order to id entify and measure the transitions of this weakly populated nucleus. The le vel scheme is extended up to an excitation energy of 13 MeV for spin-parity 21(-) with several newly observed transitions placed in it. A rotational l ike band is also observed in this nucleus for the first time.
