Excited states in145Gd from the (3He, 2n) reaction

Medium and high spin states in145Gd up to 3.5 MeV excitation energy have been studied by in-beam gamma ray and conversion electron spectroscopy bombarding enriched144Sm target with a3He beam. For a part of the identified levels a configuration is proposed in terms of weak coupling of one neutron hole with the146Gd core or of one neutron particle with the144Gd core.
