Thesis. The chain of the 89-, 91-, and 93-neutron isotopes of dysprosium was studied using the radioactive decay of the corresponding holmium isotopes. The chains are: /sup 155/Er(5.3 min) yields /sup 155/Ho(48 min) yields /sup 155/Dy(10.2 h) yields /sup 155/Tb(5.4 d) yields /sup 155/ Gd(stable); /su p 157/Er(5.3 min) yields /sup 157/Ho(12,6 min) yields /sup 157/ Dy(8.1 h) yields /sup 157/Tb(150 a) yields /sup 157/ Gd(stable); /sup 159/Er (36 min) yields /sup 159/Ho(33 min) yields /sup 159/Dy(144 d) yields /sup 159/ Tb(stable). The level schemes were established for /sup 157/Dy and /sup 155/ Dy, and the level scheme of /sup 159/Dy was completed. A systematic comparison of the results obtained with the method to those obtained from (d,p), (d,t) and ( alpha ,xn gamma ) reactions enabled the identification of almost all the excited states observed in the framework of the Nilsson model. Account must be taken of a strong Coriolis interaction in view of explaining the sequence of positive- parity levels. In the case of the 89-neutron isotope (/sup 155/Dy) the Coriolis coupling must be taken into account, between the negative-parity levels 3/2/sup -/ (521), 3/2 /sup-/(532 and 5/2/sup -/(523) and also between the positive-parity levels 1/2/sup +/(660), 3/2/sup +/(651) and 5/2/sup +/(642).
