Abstract

Two-step cascades from the 184W(nth, γ)185W reaction were studied in a γ − γ coincidence measurement. The total intensity of cascades terminating at levels with the energy ≤ 2.2 MeV was estimated for the first time. The decay scheme of 185W including 781 cascades was established up to the excitation energy ' 3.3 MeV. As in the nuclei studied earlier, the excitation spectrum of intermediate levels of the most intense cascades was found to be harmonic.

Keywords
