Abstract
High spin slates in 148Tb have been excited by means of 144Sm(6Li,2n), 144Sm(7Li,3n), and 142Nd(10B,4n) reactions and studied by γ-ray and electron measurements. Gamma-ray singles, excitation functions, angular distributions, internal conversion coefficients, and γ–γ coincidence measurements have been made. A seven-fold gamma–gamma cascade feeding the 9+ isomeric state in 148Tb and originating in a level 4137 keV above that state is strongly excited. The spin and parity assignments are made on the basis of angular distribution and internal conversion coefficients. On the basis of these measurements, the 1006 keV transition is E3 in character; the half-life of the 1006 keV (12−) level is established to be 25 ± 2 ns.These experiments also confirm the existence of a number of high spin states in 148Gd seen by earlier workers.Keywords
