Abstract

Nuclear level scheme permits to determine nuclear level density, gamma strength function, and to evaluate nuclear models. In comparison to light nuclei, the structure of heavy nuclei is much more complicated because of their strong deformation. In order to study nuclear level scheme, gamma – gamma coincidence spectrometer with advantages of low Compton background and the ability of identifying correlated gamma transitionshas been often used. This paper presents the first results of an experimentalstudy of level scheme of 172Yb using gamma – gamma coincidence spectrometer at the Dalat Nuclear Research Institute.
