“…In the earlier work [10,58], the quality of the γ -ray spectrum near 1200 keV, where there are several close-lying photopeaks, is considerably better than is the case here. From the measured lifetime of the (6 + ) state, τ = 5.4(26) ps, and the measured branching ratio, I γ ((6 + ) → (4 + ))/I γ ((6 + ) → 5 − ) = 1.84 (55) [10,58], it is possible to calculate the electromagnetic decay properties of the (6 + ) state, which, it is assumed, decays to the (4 + ) state by a pure E 2 transition and to the 5 − state by a pure E 1 transition. The resulting values are B(E 1; (6 + ) → 5 − ) = 1.25(65)×10 −5 e 2 fm 2 [1.78(90)×10 −5 W.u.]…”
