Abstract
Unresolved γ radiation preceding the decay of the Iπ = 10+ isomer in 144Gd has been studied via the 120Sn + 28Si reaction using a large NaI detector. The γ-ray multiplicity and anisotropy have been measured for 2 ≤E≤ 18 MeV. At energies above 8 MeV a broad shoulder, presumably arising from the giant dipole resonance, is observed on top of the statistical tail. These high-energy γ rays are shown to deexcite high spin states and have a nearly isotropic angular distribution.
