High-spin configurations in /sup 147/Gd from alignment of seven, nine, and eleven particles

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6076593
Detailed spectroscopic studies of the discrete ..gamma..-rays feeding the 550-ns isomer at 8.590 MeV in /sup 147/Gd are reported. The resulting decay scheme indicates single-particle nature of the states up to the highest observed spin 79/2 h at 16.938 MeV of excitation energy. Comparison with Deformed Independent Particle Model calculations makes it possible to suggest configuration assignments to many of the levels. Five neutrons and six protons with their angular momenta aligned form the highest yrast states.
