The energies and intensities of 10 transitions in 185Re following the decay of 185Os have been determined using Ge(Li) detectors and a magnetic beta-ray spectrometer. Internal conversion measurements made at a resolution of 0.15% in momentum have yielded the multipole character of the 9 strongest transitions. The proposed decay scheme has been tested by a two parameter γ–γ coincidence experiment. The decay energy has been found to be 1012 ± 3 keV from γ–X coincidence measurements involving the 646, 717, 875 + 880, and 931 keV transitions.

The radiations from Pm151 have been studied by external and internal conversion measurements and electron–electron, electron–beta, electron–gamma, and beta–gamma coincidence experiments. Thirty-six transitions have been identified. A decay scheme incorporating 30 of these has been established by energy and coincidence measurements with levels in Sm151 at 0, 0.0048, 0.0658, 0.0697, 0.0915, 0.1048, 0.1677, 0.1684, 0.2090, 0.3239, 0.3449, 0.4445, 0.741, and 0.821 Mev. The half-life of the 0.0048-Mev level is (19 ± 10) × 10−9 sec. The total decay energy is 1.195 ± 0.010 Mev.

Coincidence studies have established in the decay scheme of,187W the existence of transitions of energy 7, 36, 77, 455, 589, and 639 keV with intensities of 3.0 ± 0.5%, 0.50 ± 0.06%, 0.31 ± 0.07%, 0.05 ± 0.02%, 0.14 ± 0.04%, and 0.05 ± 0.02% respectively as well as yielding the absolute intensities of the well-known transitions in 187Re. In addition the beta–gamma coincidence measurements have shown that (1) a first-forbidden unique transition feeds the first-excited state of 187Re, (2) there is at most a very weak beta transition to the level at 512 keV, (3) there is no inner beta group of about 300 keV end-point energy and intensity 8% as indicated by several earlier investigations, and (4) the decay energy of 187W to 187Re is 1311 ± 2 keV. The relevance of these observations to the structure of 187Re is discussed.

Gamma–gamma coincidence measurements on the decay of 9.3-hour 127Te to 127I form the basis of the decay scheme presented, which confirms the accepted decay sequence. Directional correlation measurements have been made on the 215–203 keV and 360–58 keV cascades. The respective correlation functions are:[Formula: see text]The directional correlation results have been interpreted in terms of the accepted spin sequence, and limits of multipole mixtures are presented. A short discussion of the collective properties of the levels is presented.

The internal conversion electron spectrum of transitions in the decay of (139 min) 165Dy to 165Ho has been studied using a high resolution iron-free double focusing β-ray spectrometer. In addition to γ rays previously reported eight new γ rays, mostly in the low energy region, have been observed. A decay scheme involving 17 excited levels is proposed for 165Ho. Multipolarity data, obtained from the measurements of absolute or ratios of conversion coefficients of γ rays, were utilized for assigning possible spins and parities to the levels of 165Ho. The experimental level structure is discussed in the light of nuclear models.

Good Agreement

The energies and intensities of 13 gamma rays in Re188 have been measured by studying their external conversion spectra with a high resolution beta-ray spectrometer. An analysis of the beta-ray spectrum reveals groups with end points 2116 kev. (79%) and 1961 kev. (20%), and several low energy groups whose total intensity is of the order of 1%. The observed data can be consistently accounted for in terms of a decay scheme involving the following levels of OS188: 0.0, 155.0, 633, 1086, 1306, 1461, 1765, 1941, and 1958 kev. This scheme is firmly supported by coincidence measurements. The spins of the first three levels listed are 0+, 2+, and 2+ and that of the 1461 kev. level is probably 0+.The decay of Re186 is accompanied by gamma rays of the following energies and quantum intensities: 122.9 kev. (0.6%), 137.2 kev. (10%), 630.8 kev. (0.024%), and 768.2 kev. (0.024%). These values are in good agreement with those quoted in the literature, except for the intensities of the last two radiations.

The gamma radiation following thermal neutron capture by vanadium has been studied using a Ge(Li) detector. A separation energy of 7 311 ± 2 keV was determined and the ground-state triplet was observed, confirming levels of 17 and 23 keV. Coincidence measurements were used to assist in the construction of a decay scheme which includes 97% of the total observed intensity. The agreement with (d, p) measurements is very good and permits one to conclude that essentially all of the observed transitions are E1. The lack of any correlation between reduced radiation widths and stripping strengths suggests the absence of direct capture.

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.

The beta- and gamma-ray spectra of Os191 and Os193 have been studied with a magnetic beta-ray spectrometer, scintillation spectrometers, and coincidence circuits. The 14-hour isomer of Os191 decays via a 0.0742-Mev (M3) transition. Gamma rays of energy 0.0418 (100%, E3), 0.0809 (1%, M1 + E2), 0.1287 (100%, M1 + E2), and 0.1858 (0.1%) Mev have been found to be associated with the 14.6 ± 0.3 day decay of Os191 and an extension of the accepted decay scheme proposed. The following 19 transitions have been associated with the 31.5 ± 0.5 hour decay of Os193: 0.0730 (14%), 0.1068 (~1%), 0.1393 (10%), 0.180 (0.3%), 0.196 (0.1%), 0.243 (~0.2%), 0.2485 (0.3%), 0.2514 (0.4%), 0.278 (0.6%), 0.2810 (1.6%), 0.2885 (0.3%), 0.2994 (0.4%), 0.314 (0.3%), 0.3218 (1.7%), 0.3620 (0.6%), 0.3878 (1.6%), 0.4604 (4.1%), 0.4857 (0.3%), and 0.5585 (2.2%). The internal conversion coefficients for all the stronger transitions suggest that they are M1 + E2 in character. The decay energy of Os193 is 1.132 ± 0.005 Mev. Fermi analyses and beta–gamma coincidence experiments have established excited states of Ir193 at 0.073, 0.139, 0.281, 0.362, 0.460, and 0.559 Mev above the ground state. Six otherwise unclassified weak gamma rays can be accommodated if levels at 0.247, 0.315, and 0.613 Mev are included in the decay scheme.The activation cross sections of Os184 and Os190 are (2.2 ± 0.5) × 103and 5.3 ± 2 barns respectively, relative to Seren's value of 1.6 ± 0.4 barns for Os192.

The beta and gamma ray transitions involved in the decay of 193Os have been studied using Ge(Li) and Nal(Tl) detectors and magnetic spectrometers, singly and in coincidence. Fifty-four gamma ray transitions have been observed and all but one classified on the basis of energy fit and β−γ and γ−γ coincidence measurements. The internal conversion coefficients of 25 of the stronger transitions were determined with a magnetic spectrometer operating at a resolution of ~0.1% in momentum, and multipole mixing ratios determined. The energies and spins of levels in 193Ir have been determined as follows: 0 (3/2+), 73.006 (1/2+), 138.887 (5/2+), 142.125 (+), 180.00(3/2+), 357.7 (7/2+), 361.79 (5/2+), 440.95 (+), 460.46 (3/2+), 557.29 (1/2+), 559.22 (5/2+), 660.09 (+), 667.13, 695.06 (3/2+), 712.08 (3/2+), 778.50,784.13, 848.94, 874.45, 891.57.
