Abstract
The electron-capture decay of the isomer was studied with high purity sources, obtained by using a new radiochemical method consisting of fast continous on-line separation of reaction products. A complex spectrum composed of about 200 rays was observed. From these, 162 transitions were assigned to a level scheme of 39 excited levels of , primarily by coincidence spectroscopic measurements. About 60 transitions were placed for the first time and of the decay intensity was clearly identified. The structure of the levels directly fed by the electron-capture decay was reviewed as particle-hole excitations of the core.
