Spectroscopy of low lying states in 150Sm

Low lying states of 150Sm have been studied through decay spectroscopy of odd-odd 150Pm, populated with 150Nd(p, n)150Pm reaction at Ebeam=8.0MeV using 97% enriched 150Nd target and detecting the γ-rays with the VENUS array comprised of six Compton suppressed Clover HPGe detectors. Nineteen new transitions are placed, four tentative γ-rays are confirmed and eight transitions are found to have altered placements; consequently assigning thirteen new levels to the decay scheme of 150Pm. The spin-parity assignments of the excited levels of 150Sm were made based on logft and angular correlation analysis.
