THE DECAY ENERGY OF Ba$sup 13$$sup 3$

Journal Article · · Nuclear Phys.
The transition energy for the decay of Ba/sup 133/ to Cs/sup 133/ wa s determined to be 489 kev, confirming Gupta's results, in disagreement with the estimate of 700 kev from beta -decay systematics. The log ft values for the orbital capture transitions to the 437 and 381 kev levels, as well as gamma cascade studies repeated previously suppoat a single-particle description for all of the low-lying levels of Cs/sup 133/, with the possible exception of the one at 158 kev. The doublet splitting between the d/sub 3/2/ and d/sub 3/2/ levels is found to be 300 kev. This splitting and the ground-state quadrupole moment are however not in good agreement with estimates based on a pure single-particle configuration. (auth)
