{gamma}-ray decays in {sup 232}Th and the K{sup {pi}}=4{sup +} two-phonon {gamma} vibration

Journal Article · · Physical Review C
A recent Coulomb excitation study has called into question the 4{sup +} spin assignment of the 1414-keV level in {sup 232}Th, which had earlier been interpreted as a two-phonon {gamma}-vibrational excitation, and had suggested instead a 3{sup -} assignment. Data obtained in the present neutron scattering study of {sup 232}Th are inconsistent with the 3{sup -} suggestion and support an I{sup {pi}}=4{sup +} assignment for the 1414-keV level, lending credence to the argument that it is a K{sup {pi}}=4{sup +} band head.
