Title: Structural changes along and above the yrast line of /sup 154/Dy

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

States in /sup 154/Dy have been located up to I/sup ..pi../ = 48/sup +/ and their lifetimes measured. Marked structural changes occur along the yrast line with a transition from prolate to oblate shape, followed by an unexpected return to moderate collectivity at the highest spins. Structural changes with increasing energy above the yrast line are also observed.
