Experiments were carried out at the Wright Nuclear Structure Laboratory at Yale University using the 21MV ESTU Tandem Van de Graaff accelerator with the purpose of studying ⁸⁸Y. A beam of ¹⁸O impinged at laboratory energies of 60, 65 and 70 MeV on a 600 μg/cm ^{2 74}Ge target with a thick (10mg/cm ²) ¹⁹⁷Au backing. This experiment was performed with the specific aim of accessing medium spin states of the nucleus of interest. A second experiment was undertaken to populate the nucleus of interest in higher spin states by impinging the same ^{18 …}
