Abstract
The Doppler-shift attenuation method following inelastic neutron scattering was used to determine the lifetimes of nuclear levels to 3.3-MeV excitation in . Level energies and spins, -ray energies and branching ratios, and multipole-mixing ratios were deduced from measured -ray angular distributions at incident neutron energies of 2.40 and 3.30 MeV, -ray excitation functions, and coincidence measurements. The newly obtained reduced transition probabilities and level energies for were compared to critical-point symmetry model predictions. The and potential critical-point symmetries were also investigated in and .
