Levels of188Os populated by thermal neutron capture

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

Direct and coincidence gamma spectroscopy has been applied to the reaction187Os(n, γ)188Os. A neutron binding energy of 7,989.3±0.3 keV is deduced and a level scheme is established. The experimental level energies andB(E2) ratios are compared to calculations in the framework of the Interacting Boson Model.
