Levels of /sup 244/Cm populated by the beta decay of 10-h /sup 244/Am/sup g/ and 26-min /sup 244/Am/sup m/

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

Gamma rays and conversion electrons were measured for the /sup 244/Am beta decay isomers in an /sup 243/Am target undergoing neutron capture in a high-flux reactor. New transitions accompanying beta decay of 26-min /sup 244/Am/sup m/ were observed. These include 984.92-keV and 977.80-keV E0 transitions assigned to the deexcitation of a first-excited 0/sup +/ band in /sup 244/Cm with level energies of 984.91 (0/sup +/) and 1020.76 (2/sup +/) keV. The ratio of reduced transition probabilities B(E0)/B(E2) for the 0/sup +/ level is 1.5 +- 0.2.
