Abstract
The ground state bands of theN=78 isotones142 Gd and140Sm were observed up to the 8+ state by bombarding144Sm and142Nd withα-particles of energies between 80 and 130 MeV. Excitation functions,γ-γ coincidences, lifetimes and angular distributions were measured. The ground state band in140Sm is partially fed by an isomeric state ofT 1/2−17ns. No such isomerism is observed for142Gd. The level energies are very similar in both cases and agree well with the predictions of the VMI model.
