Abstract

We have extracted the nuclear level density of ¹²⁸Te from a (p,p 'γ) scattering experiment using the large-volume \labr and \cebr detectors from ELI-NP at the 9~MV Tandem facilities at IFIN-HH. The decay data were normalised using photonuclear data, resulting in nuclear level densities without intrinsic model dependencies from the constant temperature or Fermi gas models. The deduced nuclear level density follows in between the expectations from these two models, but we observe a clear divergence from a microscopic model based on the Skyrme force.
