High-spin states in the N=50 nucleus Sr-88

The excited states of Sr-88 have been produced in the reaction O-16(Se-82,4 p6n) and studied using in-beam gamma spectroscopy techniques. Two high-spin level structures have been observed and established up to 8.5 MeV and 7.9 MeV excitation energy, respectively. Based on the measurements of the direc tional correlations of gamma -rays de-exciting oriented states and anisotro pic factors of gamma -rays, spin values of the excited states have been ass igned up to the highest levels observed.
