A complete identification by the particle‐rotor model of 153Gd states up to 1 MeV

Measurements performed at the Institut Laue‐Langevin in Grenoble regarding gamma rays and conversion electrons following thermal‐neutron capture in 152Gd together with measurements of 2 keV neutron capture in the same nucleus at the High Flux Reactor in Brookhaven have resulted in a 100‐level 153Gd scheme. For some 200 transitions in 153Gd conversion coefficients have been calculated. This enabled the determination of transition multipolarities and spin and/or parity restrictions for many levels.
