Lifetime measurement in 124Te

Lifetimes of nuclear levels in 124Te have been measured by the gamma-ray induced Doppler broadening (GRID) technique using the GAMS4 crystal spectrometer at the Institut Laue Langevin, Grenoble. The new experimental data allow the determination of absolute transition rates. The results show that the structure of 124Te is best described by a configuration mixing calculation in the framework of the IBM-2. Precise gamma-ray measurements confirm a 2+ - 3+ level doublet at 2039 keV with a spacing of 129 eV.
