Yrast Decays in K-43

High-spin states in K-43 were studied using the Be-9(S-36,pngamma)K-43 reaction. Threefold (pgamma1gamma2) coincidence data and gamma-ray intensity ratios were used to establish a decay scheme and identify negative- and positive-parity yrast decay chains. The 15/2- yrast state is relatively poorly aligned prior to decay. Energies of positive-parity levels predicted by Johnstone are in good agreement with experiment.
