Description
It has been known from some time that the intrinsic state labeled by the asymptotic quantum numbers (3/2)+[631] lies quite close (<0.1 keV) to the (5/2)+[633] ground state of 229Th. Using the energies of selected γ rays emitted following the α decay of 233U, we have obtained a value of 1±4 eV for the energy separation of these two intrinsic states
