Abstract
The lifetime of the () state at 267keV in 125Cs
was measured. A Ge detector with the transistor reset preamplifier(TRP Ge)
was used to measure delayed
-rays under an intense prompt
background. The B(M2) value deduced from the lifetime was found to be
consistent with the Weisskopf estimate.
