New Analysis of Levels in $^{151}$Pr

The previous reported levels and assignments to $^{151,152}$Pr [1,2] have recently been called into question [3] about the mass assignment of the reported bands [1,2]. Recently prompt gamma-rays in coincidence with isotopically-identified fission fragments using VAMOS$++$ and EXOGAM, produced using $^{238}$U on a $^{9}$Be target, at an energy around the Coulomb barrier have been reported. [4]. We have combined the $\gamma -\gamma -\gamma -\gamma $ data from $^{252}$Cf (SF) and those from the in beam mass- and Z-gated spectra to assign transitions and levels in $^{151}$Pr. In contrast to [3], the transitions previously assigned to $^{151}$Pr are all seen in the M-Z gated spectra. In addition, all the transitions in both bands previously assigned to $^{152}$Pr [2] are also seen in the $^{151}$Pr M-Z gated spectra but not in the $^{152}$Pr M-Z gated spectrum. Hence all four bands are now assigned to $^{151}$Pr. The new level scheme in $^{151}$Pr will be presented.\\[4pt] [1] J. K. Hwang \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev.
