Energy levels in {sub 98}{sup 251}Cf populated in the {alpha} decay of {sub 100}{sup 255}Fm

Journal Article · · Physical Review C
Gamma-ray spectra of a 20-h {sup 255}Fm source containing {approx}1 mCi activity were measured with a 25% Ge detector and a low-energy photon spectrometer (LEPS). Gamma lines with intensities as low as 1.0x10{sup -6}% per {sup 255}Fm {alpha} decay were observed. Gamma-gamma coincidence spectra of a {sup 255}Fm sample were measured with the GAMMASPHERE array. A comparison of the {gamma}-ray spectrum gated by the Cf K{sub {alpha}} x-ray peak with the {gamma}-singles spectrum provided spins of the excited states in {sup 251}Cf. The {gamma}-ray data, in conjunction with previously measured {sup 250}Cf(d,p) reaction data, allowed us to characterize several single-particle and vibrational states above the N=152 subshell gap.
