Abstract

Levels in 196Pt have been studied via the 196Pt(n,n′γ) reaction for a range of neutron energies from 1 to 8 MeV. A "white" spectrum of neutrons was produced at the LANSCE/WNR facility, and the incident neutron energy was determined by the time-of-flight technique. Analysis of measured γγ coincidence data and γ-ray excitation functions, obtained with the large-scale Compton-suppressed Ge spectrometer GEANIE, yielded 13 new levels and 24 new γ rays below Ex = 3 MeV in 196Pt. Interacting boson model (IBM) calculations with broken SO(6) dynamical symmetry were performed. A new experimental level was found to be a prime candidate for the Jπ=4+, σ = 6, τ = 5 IBM state.
