Abstract
A new measurement of decay from the states above the neutron threshold in has been performed at Cyclotron Centre Bronowice in Kraków, Poland. The main goal of the experiment was to observe the decay to the ground state from the isoscalar giant quadrupole resonance (ISGQR). To this day, the only published observation of this phenomenon dates back to the late 1980s, where decay to the ground state branching ratio was reported. At variance with the existing measurement using inelastic scattering of , here proton inelastic scattering is employed. In particular, data were obtained for at 85 MeV beam energy, where rays were measured for proton scattering angles , , , and . By applying a similar analysis method as in the previous experiment, the branching ratio of ISGQR gamma decay to the ground state was extracted from the data.
