Abstract

The 83.6-min isomer of $^{132}\mathrm{I}$ has been produced both by fission of uranium with medium-energy (30-85 MeV) protons and by the reaction $^{130}\mathrm{Te}(\ensuremath{\alpha},pn)^{132}\mathrm{I}$, using tellurium enriched in mass 130. The isomeric transition is by a 98-keV $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ ray (86%), the remainder decaying by ${\ensuremath{\beta}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ emission to levels in $^{132}\mathrm{Xe}$. Three new levels, viz. 2650.1 \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{} 0.9, 2829.1 \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{} 0.9, and 2960.1 \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{} 1.2 keV in $^{132}\mathrm{Xe}$ have been found. A decay scheme for $^{132}\mathrm{I}^{m}$ is presented.
