Abstract:
The structure of the 33S nucleus was investigated in the 24Mg(14N,αp) fusion-evaporation reaction using a
40-MeV 14N beam. The level scheme was extended up to an excitation energy of 11.7 MeV and spin 19/2+.
Lifetimes of the intermediate- and high-spin states have been investigated by the Doppler shift attenuation
method. Data were compared with different shell-model calculations where effective interactions involving two
main shells, the sd and the fp, are used.
