Abstract
A recoil distance method was used to measure half-lives of the excited states of ¹⁴⁵Sm. The reaction used was ¹³⁹La(¹⁰B, 4n)¹⁴⁵Sm. A plunger system was used. Half-lives were determined for two excited states for the first time. The yrast 27/2⁺ state was found to have a half-life of 1.1 $\pm$ 0.2 ns corresponding to the retardation of 3.1 $\times$ 10^-4 comparing with the single particle estimate of M1. The excitation energy of this state was well reproduced by the shell model calculation having a mixed configuration of [ $\pi$ {h_11/2(g_7/2)^-2 (d_5/2)^-1 }₁₀-, $\nu$ f_7/2] + [ $\pi$ {h_11/2(g_7/2)^-1}₉-, $\nu$ h_9/2]. Another retarded E1 transition was also found in a decay of a 21/2⁺ state. Its retardation was 1.6 $\times$ 10^-4 comparing with the single particle value.
