A decay study of 70As.

The excited states of the 70Ge nucleus in radioactive decay of 70As were investigated. Four new transitions with 1036.99, 1196.66, 1539.29 and 2531.7 keV have been found. The placement of 2219.34 keV transition has been reassigned, three gamma-rays with 496.74, 1295.24 and 1417.24 keV have been placed in the decay scheme for the first time, and the placements of 1881.67, 2325.42 and 2424.41 keV gamma-rays are confirmed in the present work. Two new levels at 4243.10 and 5265.81 keV excitation energy, respectively, are proposed. The level scheme was established and for a number of levels spin-parity assignments are suggested on the basis of log ft values and gamma-branching ratios.
