(p,t) reactions on nuclei in the rare earth region
The (p,t) reactions on isotopic targets of /sup 178,180/Hf and all the stable isotopes of Yb and on natural targets of Gd, Dy, Er, Hf, Ta, W, Os and Au were studied at a beam energy of 19 MeV with an average resolution of 12 keV. A split-pole magnetic spectrometer was used to measure (p,t) Q-values and absolute differential cross sections. On the basis of angular distribution shapes definite 0+ and tentative 2/sup +/ assignments were made. Rotational bands were identified assuming an I(I + 1) spacing. The (p,t) reaction populates excited 0/ sup +/ states strongly in /sup 174/Yb, /sup 176/Hf, /sup 166/Yb and se veral Gd, Dy and Er isotopes. The /sup 174/Yb and /sup 176/Hf 0/sup +/ states are discussed i n terms of the pairing phase transition and in terms of Nilsson orbitals with unequal (p,t) reaction amplitudes. Members of gamma and octupole vibrational bands were observed in the even-N nuclei. The lowest L = 0 transfers to states in /sup 169,171/Yb were found to have less than 55% of the strength to ground states in adjacent even-N nuclei. A strong L = O transfer to a state at 1513 keV in /sup 171/Yb indicates the presence of a possible K = 0 core vibration coupled to the unpaired 5/2STA512! neutron. The natural targets have furnished information on trends in cross sections for members of ground bands, gamma bandheads, 3/sup -/ octupole states, and strongly excited 0+ states. (auth)
