Abstract

By unfolding theγ-γ coincidence spectra from the reaction154Sm(12C, 4n)162Er at a beam energy of 64 MeV the mean energy of the continuousγ-ray spectrum feeding the ground state rotational band was determined as about 1.2 MeV. The averageγ-ray multiplicity\(\bar v\) including the rotational band transitions was measured for each of the levelsJ through which the cascade passed. The values for\(\bar v\) were found to increase regularly from\(\bar v = 8\) forJ=4 to\(\bar v = 14\) forJ=18.
