New data on $0^{+}$ states in ${}^{158}$Gd

Abstract

Excited states in the deformed nucleus ${}^{158}$Gd have been studied in the (p,t) reaction by using the Munich Tandem and Q3D spectrograph. 30 new excited 0${}^{+}$ states (three tentative) have been assigned up to the 4.3 MeV excitation energy. The total number of 34 excited 0${}^{+}$ states (four tentatively assigned) in a deformed nucleus, close to a complete level scheme, offers a new opportunity to test nuclear models and obtain more information on the structure of these special states.
