The nucleus ^198 Au investigated with neutron capture and transfer reactions I. Experiments and evaluation

The transfer reaction ^197 Au(d,p)^198 Au was measured at the Tandem Accelerator in Munich. The ^197 Au(n,gamma)^198 Au and ^197 Au(n,e)^198 Au reactions were performed at the High Flux Reactor of ILL, Grenoble. Up to 1560 keV a total of 111 levels were observed by the (d,p) reaction and 125 by the (n,gamma) reaction. For many of the levels, spins and parities were assigned. Additional information was obtained from summed (n,gamma gamma) coincidences measured in Dubna.
