Ground-State Quasirotational Bands to8+inTe114−126Produced by (α, xn)

Abstract

Measurements of the $\gamma$ spectra, time distributions, angular distributions, and excitation functions of $\gamma$ rays from ($\alpha , 2n$) and ($\alpha , 4n$) reactions producing the vibrators ${}_{}{}^{114-126}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Te}$ reveal that the most prominent $\gamma$ rays are in $8^{+}$→$6^{+}$→$4^{+}$→$2^{+}$→$0^{+}$ cascades. The energies and intensities exhibit remarkably regular systematics.
