   Abstract:
   Following the ¹⁴¹Pr(³He, 4n)¹⁴⁰Pm reaction and, for ¹⁴⁰Pm^g, transport by a helium-jet recoil system, γ-ray spectra and γ-γ coincidences were observed with Ge(Li) detectors including an anti-Compton spectrometer. The proposed decay schemes incorporate 8 of the 14 γ rays assigned to ¹⁴⁰Pm^m decay and 4 of the 9 γ rays attributed to ¹⁴⁰Pm^g decay. Proposed levels at 1414.3(O⁺?) and 1491.1(2⁺) keV in ¹⁴⁰Nd are probably the members of the two-phonon triplet also found in other N-80 isotones
