159GD D  DATA SET UPDATED (MAY, 2009) BY CW REICH TO INCLUDE REVISED QP AND
159GD2D   RI(17.1) VALUES, NEW CC VALUES, POINTING OUT A QUESTIONABLE LEVEL
159GD3D   AND COMMENTS ABOUT SUBSEQUENT PROPOSED PLACEMENTS OF GAMMAS..
159GD c  The decay scheme is that of 1969Ke10 and data are from 1969Ke10, unless
159GD2c  otherwise noted.  Other: 1961Ku10, 1964Iw01, 1965Iw01, 1965Mu16,
159GD3c  1966Da06, 1966Da19, 1974Da24.
159GD c  The intensity of the |b{+-} feeding of the several levels below 60~keV
159GD2c  is not known; therefore, the absolute |b{+-} feeding of the higher
159GD3c  levels is not known. However, the intensities have been normalized for
159GD4c  a particular assumption about this |b feeding.
159GD cB $1965Iw01 assume that the measured 2570-keV |b{+-} branch was to the
159GD2cB ground state. In contrast, 1969Ke10 assume this |b{+-} was to the
159GD3cB 67-keV level with no |b{+-} to the 0- and 50-keV levels.
159GD cB IB$Relative values deduced from |g intensity balances. Values given are
159GD2cB based on the assumption that there is no |b{+-} feeding of the levels
159GD3cB at 0 and 50~keV. The table gives the results from the decomposition of
159GD4cB the |b{+-} spectrum. From the density of the levels in {+159}Gd it is
159GD5cB clear that the reported components represent the decay to several
159GD6cB levels. Due to the various ambiguities, no uncertainties are given for
159GD7cB the I|b and the associated log {Ift} values.
