✦ Synopsis

The nuclear structure of 127 Te has been investigated with the 126 Te(n, γ γ ) 127 Te reaction using thermal neutrons and with the 126 Te( d, p) 127 Te reaction at E d = 20 MeV. About 190 levels were identified in a region to 4.1 MeV excitation energy, in most cases including spin, parity and γ -decay. The γ -decay scheme after neutron capture is essentially complete containing about 100% of the population of the 11/2 -isomer and of the ground state. The thermal neutron capture cross section and isomer production of the 11/2 -state at 88.3 keV were determined to be 0.44(6) b and 0.069(10) b, respectively. The neutron binding energy was determined to be 6287.6(1) keV. A significant number of the (d, p) angular distributions of cross section and asymmetry are anomalous with respect to * Corresponding author.
