Abstract
Excited levels of143Eu have been investigated by nuclear spectroscopy methods. We measured γ-rays and conversion electron singles spectra as well asγγ-coincidences from mass separated143mGd sources (108 s) prepared after the irradiation of144Sm with 78 MeVα-particles. In addition in-beam data were obtained by measuringγ-ray singles spectra, angular distributions andγγ-coincidences, following the144Sm(α, 4n+ p, γ) reaction. A level scheme for143Eu comprising 19 levels is proposed, spin assignments or at least restrictions are given. The deduced experimental level scheme can be reproduced semiquantitatively by a generalized decoupling model which takes into account an asymmetric deformation of the core and a variable moment of inertia. Additionally, the results are discussed in the limit of the weak coupling model.
