A discrete gamma-ray transition with an energy of 3360.6 keV deexcitin
g the second lowest SD state in Eu-143 has been discovered. It carries
3.2 % of the full intensity of the band and feeds into a nearly spher
ical state which is above the I = 35/2((+)), E(x) = 4947 keV level. Th
e exact place ment of the single-step link is, however, not establishe
d due to the specially complicated level scheme in the region of inter
est. The energy of the single-step link agrees well with the previousl
y determined two-step links.
