Abstract

Excited states in the Eu-158 nucleus have been determined with the Gd-160(d, alpha) Eu-158 reaction, studied at an incident energy of 18.0 MeV with the Munich tandem and Q3D spectrograph. More than 50 excited states have been determined up to 1.6 MeV excitation, some of them corresponding to states previously observed in the beta-decay of Sm-158. The number of levels found in this nucleus at low excitation energies follows the systematic trend of the level densities in the other isotopes with mass 152-156.
