Low-lying states in99Tc populated by (3He,d) reaction in98Mo

The proton stripping reaction98Mo(3He,d)99Tc is studied with 18 MeV3He ion beam. The out-going deuterons from the reaction are analysed using an Enge magnetic spectrograph. The experimental angular distributions are compared with distorted-wave-Born-approximation calculations, andl-values and spectroscopic factors are obtained. Many of the previous spin-parity assignments for the low-lying states in99Tc are confirmed and new ones are made. The proton configuration for the ground state of98Mo is deduced.
