Lifetimes in ¹²⁴Te: Examining critical-point symmetry in the Te nuclei

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹²⁴Te(n, n'γ), E=2.2-3.3 MeV; measured Eγ, Iγ, γγ-coin, γ(θ), relative γ-ray production σ(E), level half-lives by DSAM at University of Kentucky Accelerator Laboratory. ¹²⁴Te; deduced levels, J, π, γ-ray branching ratios, multipolarities, mixing ratios, B(M1), B(E1), B(E2). Comparison of level half-lives with previous experimental results. ^122,124,126Te; comparison of experimental B(E2) values with E(5) and β⁴ potential critical-point symmetry model calculations.
