(n,n′γ) studies of 114,116 Cd

Energy levels below 2.2 MeV excitation in 114,116Cd have been investigated using the (n, n′γ) reaction. Gamma-ray angular distributions were measured, and energy levels, spins, and gamma-ray multipole mixing ratios were deduced. Levels and their spins have been confirmed at 1134 (0), 1210 (2), 1283 (4), 1365 (2), 1733 (4), and 1843 (2) keV for 14Cd and at 1213 (2), 1220 (4), and 1381 (0) keV for 116Cd. New spin assignments have been made for the levels at 1861 (3) and 2049 (3) keV for 114Cd and at 1644 (2,3) and 1917 (3) keV for 116Cd. The states at 1959 keV in 114Cd and 1923 keV in 116Cd are shown to be consistent with assignments of 3.
