~Nuclear isomers have a wide variety of applications, yet many properties,
such as energy levels, are not well known. Energy levels are experimentally
determined by detecting gamma emission from nuclear de-excitation. Through
Monte Carlo simulations, this process has been simulated using various beam
and target combinations in Geant4. A detector ring consisting of multiple
scintillation detectors has been placed in optimal positions to specifically
measure energy from gamma emissions. Using the analysis capabilities of
CERN's Root, various physical phenomena have been observed. Since energy
levels of neutron-rich isomers are not well identified, excitation states
are of~particular interest~to better develop nuclear structure models.~~
