The level scheme of 176Lu investigated by (n, γ) and (n, e) reactions

Abstract The excited levels of 176 Lu have been studied using the conversion electron and γ-spectra from slow neutron capture in 175 Lu measured with the β-spectrograph at Riga and with the diffraction spectrometer at Riso. The proposed level scheme contains the rotational bands with the following lowest levels E , I π K and Nilsson configurations: 126 keV , 1 − 0, p 7 2 + [404]− n 7 2 − [514] ; 198 keV , 1 + 1, p 7 2 + [404]− n 9 2 + [624]; 342 keV , 1 + 1, p 9 2 − [514]−n 7 2 − [514]; 390 keV , 1 − 1, p 7 2 + [404]− 5 2 − [512]; 638 keV , 4 + 4, p 1 2 − [541]+ n 7 2 − [514]; 641 keV , 1 − 1, p 5 2 + [402]−n 7 2 − [514]; 660 keV , 5 + 5, p 9 2 − [514]+ n 1 2 − [510]; 662 keV , 3 − 3, p 7 2 + [404]−n 1 2 − [510]; 726 keV , 4 − 4, p 1 2 + [411]+ n 7 2 − [514] . The bands with 0 keV, 7 − 7, p 7 2 + [404]+ n 7 2 − [514] and 404 keV, 8 + 8, p 7 2 + [404]+ n 9 2 + [624] , can be discussed only on the basis of earlier (d, p) and (d, d′) reaction data.
