Observation of a dominant $0{\mathbf{f}}_{7/2}$ neutron configuration in the ${}^{32}$Si ${\mathbf{J}}^{\mathbf{\pi }}=5^{-}$ isomeric state

C. R. Hoffman, G. L. Wilson, J. Chen +8

An yrast, $J^{\pi }=5^{-}$, spin-trap isomer has been previously identified in ${}^{32}$Si. The isomeric state decays predominantly via a hindered $E3$ transition [B($E3$) = 0.0841(10)~W.u.…
