Protons and deuterons with energies 12.5 and 12.0 Mev, respectively, were used to study the levels in Dy/sup 164/ at a number of angles via the reactions Dy/sup 164/(p,p')Dy/sup 164/ and Dy/sup 163/(d,p)Dy/sup 164/. The ground-state Q value for the latter reaction was determined as 5434 plus or minus 5 kev. The agreement in energy between the proton groups observed in both reactions and the nuclear models of Bohr and Monelson and Davydov allows the assignment of ground-state and gamma vibrational bands. These assignments are (in kev) G.S. (0/sup +/), 72 (2/sup +/), 240 (4/sup +/), 503 (6/sup +/), 761 (2/ sup +/), 827 ( 3/sup +/), 919 (4/sup +/), 1040 (5/sup +/), and, with less certainty, 1157 (6/sup +/). Cross sections for excitation of the gamma band by the (d,p) reaction are similar to those of the G.S. band, whereas no excitation of a BETA vibrational band is observed. The 6-- two-quasiparticle state, formed from the coupling of the 5/2-- STA523! and 7/2 STA633! neutron states, and the 7-- member of the superimposed rotational band are probably the weak states at 1680 and 1853 kev, respectiveiy. The 2/sup +/ two-quasiparticle state formed from the coupling of the 5/2- STA523! and 1/2-- STA521! neutron states and the members of the associated rotational band were probably observed. They are: 1987 (2/sup +/), 2058 (3/sup +/), 2158 (4/sup +/), 2266 (5/sup +/), and 2418 (6/sup +/ ). The collective nature of the ground-state and gamma vibrational bands in Dy/ sup 164/ is clearly indicated by very small cross sections for the (d,p) reactions and relatively large cross sections for the (p,p') reaction. The energy gap corresponding to breaking a neutron pair is observed as a dramatic increase in the (d,p) cross section. A useful selection rule for (d,p) stripping predicted by Satchler is clearly verified experimentally. (auth)
