Abstract: (Elsevier)
A broad structure at E X ≈ 9 MeV in 140 Ce which hitherto had been interpreted as the M1 giant resonance is shown to consist of an accumulation of J π = 2 − states with a total strength of about 6 × 10 3 μ K 2 fm 2 . There is no indication of an M1 giant resonance in the energy region E X ≈ 7.5–10 MeV, contrary to a recent theoretical prediction.
