Abstract. An activity of 158Eu was produced by an (n, p) reaction in an enriched gadolinium target by means of 14 MeV neutrons obtained from a SAMES generator. The gamma radiation accompanying the beta decay of 158Eu into ~SSGd was detected by means of a Ge(Li) spectrometer. A 24-level decay scheme was devised and the transition probabilities were analyzed in terms of adiabatic theory and in terms of the theories including band mixing effects. The values of beta radiation intensities obtained from the experiment were compared with theoretical predictions calculated on the basis of the Nilsson model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
