The level scheme of 134Cs

Abstract Low-lying states in 134 Cs have been investigated using the 133 Cs(n, γ) 134 Cs and 133 Cs(d, p) 134 Cs reactions with various spectroscopic techniques. Numerous excited states in 134 Cs have been established with energies up to 1267 keV. The experimental data on the lowest negative- and positive-parity states are in fair agrement with the calculations based on two quasiparticles coupled to a vibrator. For higher excited states the multiplets appear more mixed than predicted by the simple model.
