Abstract

An isomer with a half-life of 15\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1 \ensuremath{\mu}s has been observed in the N=74 nucleus $^{136}\mathrm{Sm}$, populated following the reaction $^{107}\mathrm{Ag}$${(}^{32}$S,p2n${)}^{136}$Sm. It is proposed to have a ${\mathit{K}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}}$=${8}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$ two quasineutron configuration. The isomer decays via a \ensuremath{\Delta}K=8, 466 keV E1 transition with a surprisingly low hindrance per degree of K forbiddenness, ${\mathit{f}}_{\ensuremath{\nu}}$=25.
