Identification of new transitions and levels in ¹⁶³Gd from β-decay studies

RADIOACTIVITY ¹⁶³Eu(β^-)[from ²³⁸U(p, F), E=50 MeV, pure ¹⁶³Eu beam using high-resolution isobar separator at HRIBF-ORNL]; measured Eγ, Iγ, Eβ^-, Iβ^-, γγ-, βγγ- and (x ray)γ-coin using the CARDS HPGe clover array for γ detection and plastic scintillators for β detection. ¹⁶³Gd; deduced levels, J, π, bands, configurations; calculated configuration-constrained potential-energy surface (PES) for ν1/2[521] configuration. Comparison with projected shell-model calculations.
