Abstract
Thermal-neutron capture γ-ray spectra from Gd, Er, Hf, Dy and Ta have been measured over the range 0·3–9 MeV by use of a magnetic Compton-electron spectrometer. With the first three of these elements, the excited nuclei are 64156Gd94, 68168Gd94, 68168Er100 and 72178Hf106, which have rotational levels near the ground state; in their spectra a closely spaced group of intense lines is found near 1 MeV that is absent from the spectra of even-odd (e.g. 66165Dy99) and odd-odd (e.g. 73182Ta109) emitters. The properties of these lines are. related to those of the low-lying levels.
