Nonstatistical cooling of the highly excited /sup 161/Dy Nucleus

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Gamma rays following the /sup 162/Dy(/sup 3/He,..cap alpha..) reaction have been studied as a function of excitation energies in /sup 161/Dy. For excitation energies above approx.3 MeV a (2.2 +- 0.2)-MeV pump appears in the ..gamma..-ray spectra. It is suggested that the bump originates from enhanced ..delta cap omega.. = 1 single-quasiparticle transitions.
