Evidence for enhanced neutron-proton correlations from the level structure of the $N=Z+1$ nucleus ${}_{43}^{87}$Tc${}_{44}^{}$

X. Liu, B. Cederwall, C. Qi +69

The low-lying excited states in the neutron-deficient $N=Z+1$ nucleus ${}_{43}^{87}$Tc${}_{44}^{}$ have been studied via the fusion-evaporation reaction ${}^{54}$Fe(${}^{36}$Ar, $2n1p$)$…
