Lifetime measurements of low-spin negative parity levels in 160Gd
Published: June 2017 Aprahamian
160Gd(n,n'γ) experiments were performed with accelerator-produced monoenergetic neutrons. Excitation functions at neutron energies from 1.5 to 2.8 MeV aided in the placement of γ rays in the level scheme and angular distributions at three neutron energies resulted in the determination of 28 excited-level lifetimes or limits in 160Gd including the lifetimes of several negative-parity levels attributed to octupole vibrations.
