Coulomb Excitation ofTc99andSm147

Coulomb excitation gamma-ray spectra from ${\mathrm{Tc}}^{99}$ and ${\mathrm{Sm}}^{147}$ have been investigated by means of 2-MeV protons. A NaI(Tl) scintillation spectrometer was used to measure the energy and intensity of the gamma rays. Gamma rays of energy 120±3.2 keV and 199±4.1 keV were observed from the excited nucleus ${\mathrm{Sm}}^{147}$. In the case of ${\mathrm{Tc}}^{99}$, gamma rays of energy 140±3.5 keV and 178±4.0 keV were observed. Total reduced transition probabilities for these transitions are of the same order of magnitude as the single-particle estimate.
