157EU c  For these decay scheme studies, {+157}Sm has been produced by the
157EU2c       {+160}Gd(n,|a) reaction, n fission of {+235}U with isotope
157EU3c       separation, and spontaneous fission of {+252}Cf with chemical
157EU4c       separation. Measurements have included |g singles and
157EU5c       |g|g-coincidence spectra with Ge detectors, |b- spectra with
157EU6c       plastic and anthracene detectors, and |g|b- coincidences.
157EU c  Experimental methods:
157EU c  1960Wi10: Produced by {+160}Gd(n,|a), but T{-1/2} reported as 0.5
157EU2c       min {I1}, so isotope probably misassigned.
157EU c  1972Mo28: Produced by {+160}Gd(n,|a) with E{-n}=14.7 MeV on
157EU2c       enriched (96.5%) target.  Report |g of 121 keV and E{-|b-}
157EU3c       of 2.83 MeV {I10}, but report T{-1/2}=83 s
157EU4c       {I1}, so isotope probably misassigned.
157EU c  1973Da05: Produced by {+160}Gd(n,|a) reaction with E{-n}=14.8 MeV
157EU2c       on natural target.  |g measured with Ge detector,  |b- with
157EU3c       anthracene detector, and |g|b- coincidences.  Report 7 |g's,
157EU4c       but report isotope assignment is not certain.
157EU c  1973Ka23: Produced by {+160}Gd(n,|a) reaction with fast n on
157EU2c       enriched (95.2%) target.  |g measured with Ge detectors, |g|g
157EU3c       coincidences with Ge detectors, and |b- with plastic detectors.
157EU4c       Report 14 |g's.
157EU c  1980Ba51: Produced from {+252}Cf spontaneous fission with chemical
157EU2c       separation.  |g measured with Ge detector.  Report 23 |g's, but
157EU3c       no decay scheme.
157EU c  1986Ma12: Produced by n fission of {+235}U with isotope separation.
157EU2c       |g singles and |g|g coincidences measured with Ge detectors.
157EU3c       T{-1/2} measured.
157EU c  1994WiZZ: Produced from {+252}Cf spontaneous fission with chemical
157EU2c       separation.  |g measured with Ge detector. Same authors as
157EU3c       1980Ba51.
157EU c  1993Gr17: Produced from {+252}Cf spontaneous fission with isotope
157EU2c       separation.  Measured |b- end-point energy with Ge detector.
157EU c  1996Gr20: Produced from {+252}Cf spontaneous fission with isotope
157EU2c       separation.  Measured |b- intensity for "ground-state" branch
157EU3c       with total absorption |g-ray spectrometer.
157EU c  1997Gr09: Produced from {+252}Cf spontaneous fission with isotope
157EU2c       separation.  Measured |b- branch intensity as a function of the
157EU3c       excited level energy with total absorption |g-ray spectrometer.
157EU cB IB        Relative values are from |g-ray intensity balances for
157EU2cB      levels with deexciting |g's, except for the 76 level.  These
157EU3cB      values are converted to absolute values by including the values
157EU4cB      from the total absorption |g spectra, TAGS, for the ground
157EU5cB      state (1996Gr20) and the pseudolevels (1997Gr09).  The values
157EU6cB      from the intensity balances and TAGS data are in good agreement.
157EU7cB      The |b- intensity distribution from the total
157EU8cB      absorption |g spectra (TAGS) (1997Gr09) indicate that
157EU9cB      |? 9.4% of the decays are to levels that are not in the |g-ray
157EUAcB      decay scheme, namely, |? 850, 1050 - 1250, and above 1500 keV.
157EUBcB      These decays are represented here by pseudolevels which do not
157EUCcB      have any depopulating |g's.  These pseudolevels represent the
157EUDcB      sum of the |b- feeding to all the actual levels in an energy
157EUEcB      range.  Where the pseudolevels are adjacent, this range is half
157EUFcB      of the distance between the adjacent levels; and where a
157EUGcB      pseudolevel is between discrete levels, the range is between
157EUHcB      these levels.
157EUIcB      No uncertainties are included for the I{-|b-} to the
157EUJcB      pseudolevels, and no log {Ift}'s are given since this intensity
157EUKcB      is expected to be distributed over several actual levels.
157EU cB IB,LOGFT$The inability to include the unknown |g decays from the
157EU2cB      upper levels will, in principle, cause the I{-|b-} values
157EU3cB      deduced from the |g intensity balances to be incorrect; however,
157EU4cB      since most of these unknown |g's are expected to populate the
157EU5cB      strongly fed levels
157EU6cB      below 460 keV, the changes in the log {Ift} values are probably
157EU7cB      small. The uncertainties in the I{-|b-} and log {Ift}'s do not
157EU8cB      include any contributions from the incompleteness of the decay
157EU9cB      scheme.
157EU cG           The |g|g coincidences noted in the decay-scheme drawing
157EU2cG      are those of 1973Ka23.
157EU cG           The unplaced |g's are those of 1994WiZZ.

157EU cG M         All assignments are deduced from the assigned J|p values.
157EU2cG      The intensity balance at 77 level supports the multipolarity
157EU3cG      of the 77 |g.
