Abstract

The low-lying level structure of 59 V and 61 V was investigated for the first time. The neutron knockout reaction and inelastic proton scattering were applied for 61 V while the neutron knock-out reaction provided the data for 59 V. Four and five new transitions were determined for 59 V and 61 V, respectively. Based on the comparison to our shell-model calculations using the Lenzi-Nowacki-Poves-Sieja (LNPS) interaction, three of the observed γ rays for each isotope could be placed in the level scheme and assigned to the decay of the first 11/2− and 9/2− levels. The (p, p′ ) excitation cross sections for 61 V were analyzed by the coupled-channels formalism assuming quadrupole plus hexadecapole deformations. Due to the role of the hexadecapole deformation, 61 V could not be unambiguously placed on the island of inversion.
