The level structure of Ge 74 has been investigated at the Karlsruhe research reactor using thermal neutron capture in ae 73. Neutrons were monochromized by Bragg reflection from a lead single crystal. The target was Gd 3 enriched to 86.1%. Precision measurements of the capture gamma-ray spectrum have been performed over the whole energy range by means of a 4 cm2X 0.5 cm lithium-drifted germanium detector. 148 gamma transitions have been observed. Considerable aid in analysis of the level structure is provided by double and triple coincidence measurements with 4"~ • 5" NaI(T1) detectors. Data were processed using the Karlsruhe Multiple Input Data Acquisition System (MIDAS). A level scheme of Gd 4 is proposed involving 38 excited states in the energy range from 0 to 4400 keV. The neutron binding energy of Ge 74 is determined to be 10202+ 10 keV.
