Energy Levels inGd156Populated by 5.4-DayTb156

Abstract
γ-ray singles and coincidence measurements have been carried out on the decay of Tb156 with Ge(Li) detectors to study levels of Gd156. A total of 102 transitions were observed, of which 52 were previously unreported. Of these 78 were placed in the decay scheme with levels at: 88.967, 2+0; 288.16, 4+0; 584.74, 6+0; 1129.52, 2+0; 1154.23, 2+2; 1242.5, 1(0); 1248.08, 3+2; 1258.4, 2+0; 1276.22, 3(0); 1297.7, 4+0; 1319.69, 2(1); 1355.52, 4+2; 1366.6, 1(1); 1462.4, 4+0; 1468.5, (41); 1510.67, 4+(4); 1539.0, (31); 1622.64, 5+(4); 1852.09, 3(2); 1943.41, 3; 2045.04, 4(4); 2103.49, 3; 2175.6, 2181.5, and 2232.9 keV. The spin, parity, and K assignments are given where known after each level. 12 of these levels are reported in this decay for the first time.
