Abstract

In recent 160Gd(p,t) reaction studies the existence of more than ten 0+ states in 158Gd below 3.0 MeV was revealed. We have examined 158Gd with the (n,n′γ) reaction at neutron energies up to 3.5 MeV to confirm the identification of these states and to determine their lifetimes through DSAM measurements. Gamma-ray excitation function and angular distribution measurements have been performed and γ - γ coincidences have been measured with the KEGS array of detectors. Moderately strong decays are observed from some of these 0+ states.
