Yrast isomers and possible oblate shape in /sup 152/Dy

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Excitation energies, spins, and parities have been determined for /sup 152/Dy in (HI,xn) reactions up to I/sup ..pi../ = 27/sup +/. Three isomers with T/sub 1/2/ = 49.5 ns (E/sub x/ = 5035 keV, I/sub ..pi../ = 16/sup +/), 9.9 ns (E/sub x/ = 6076 keV, I/sup ..pi../ = 20/sup -/), and 1.6 ns (E/sub x/ = 7828 keV, I/sup ..pi../ = 26/sup -/) have been found. The g factor of the second isomeric state was measured to be g = 0.55 +- 0.06. The present experimental data compares well with microscopic calculations which imply an oblate shape for /sup 152/Dy at high angular momenta (I/sup ..pi../ > or = 16/sup +/).
