OSTI ID:5635217
Direct E2 and E3 Coulomb excitation of 2/sup +/ and 3/sup -/ states with 13.5-MeV /sup 4/He ions on isotopically enriched targets of /sup 156 -160/Gd and /sup 160 -164/Dy was measured by means of ..gamma..-ray spectroscopy. Several 2/sup +/ states and /sup 3 -/ octupole vibrational states were identified in each nucleus. The B(Elambda, 0 ..-->.. J = lambda) is obtained for excitation of each state, and information is given on the reduced transition probabilities for the different decay modes of these states. The experimental results are compared with theoretical predictions of nuclear models describing these states. 2 tables.
