摘要
Excited states in 149Pm have been studied through the 150Nd(d, 3n) reaction. γ-γ and electron-γ coincidence data have enabled partial level and decay schemes to be extended up to spin (27/2). The spins and parities of excited levels have been deduced from measurements of internal conversion coefficients, decay schemes, and from comparison to the N = 88 isotones 151Eu and153 Tb. The data are discussed in terms of the strength of octupole correlations.
