Abstract

The \(\beta \) decay endpoint energies corresponding to the decay from \(^{150}\)Pm to levels in \(^{150}\)Sm have been measured for the first time. The measurement has been made with a \(\beta -\gamma \) coincidence setup of two thin window Planar HPGe detectors and four Clover HPGe detectors. This measurement is a part of the program, taken up at VECC, on \(\beta -\gamma \) spectroscopy that would be utilized to characterise long lived \(\beta \) decaying isomers in nuclei.
