156EU4D  ADDED, INCORPORATING A PREVIOUSLY UNPLACED G.
156EU c  {+156}Sm has been produced as a product of n-induced fission of
156EU2c  {+235}U, U and {+239}Pu, |a-induced fission of {+238}U and the (d,|a)
156EU3c  reaction on {+158}Gd.

156EU2c  connecting the {+156}Eu g.s. with the ground states of {+156}Sm and

156EU cB           E(|b{+-}) are from 1966Ha26. Other: 1963Gu04.
156EU cB $I(|b{+-}) are from |g intensity balances, with I|b{+-}(125) set to 0;
156EU2cB 1966Ha26 give similar values. Calculation gives 6% {I2} feeding to the
156EU3cB 125 level, but, for 0+ to 2-, one expects (1973Ra10) log| {If{+1}t}
156EU4cB |>8.5 or I|b{+-}|<0.1%.
156EU cG           Coincidence results are shown in the drawing (1966Ha26).
156EU cG E         From 1966Ha26 and based on |g and ce data. Others: 1963Gr04,
156EU2cG 1965Wi08 (same authors as 1966Ha26), and 1969Gr32. For more precise
156EU3cG values, see the {+153}Eu(3n,|g) data.
156EU cG RI        From 1966Ha26, from evaluator's combination of results from
156EU2cG Ge and NaI detectors and proportional counters. Others: 1963Gu04,
156EU3cG 1969Gr32.
156EU cG RI$I(K| x ray)=10~{I3} (1966Ha26).
156EU cG M         From {+156}Eu Adopted |g radiations and based on the ce data
156EU2cG following this decay (1966Ha26) and the {+153}Eu(3n,|g) reaction.
156EU cG M$Normalization of the ce spectrum and the |g-ray spectrum to deduce
156EU2cG conversion coefficients for the |g transitions was done using the
156EU3cG theoretical value, |a(K)=0.062, for the 165.8, E1 G. The |a(K)exp value
156EU4cG for this |g was measured relative to that of the 123, E2 |g in {+154}Eu
156EU5cG decay, for which the theoretical value, |a(K)=0.65, was used
156EU6cG (1966Ha26).
156EU cG M(X)$Value from the {+153}Eu(3n,|g) reaction. It is included to help
156EU2cG obtain an intensity balance in the level scheme.

156EU2cG   {+156}Eu Adopted |g radiations data set.

156EU cL J         J|p and band assignments are from {+156}Eu Adopted Levels,
156EU2cL  and are similar to those proposed by 1966Ha26.

156EU2cL 1966Ha26 assign the configuration |p7/2[523]-|n 5/2[523] to this state.
156EU3cL 1991Ba06, in order to account for the relatively low log| {Ift} value
156EU4cL of the |b{+-} transition to this level, assume that this latter
156EU5cL configuration is present only as an admixture.
