Members of the ground-state band of /sup 150/Nd to spin 8/sup +/ have been Coulomb excited with 149-MeV /sup 40/Ar ions, and the lifetimes of these states have been measured by the Doppler-shift recoil distance method. The half-lives of the 2/sup +/, 4/sup +/, 6/sup +/, and 8/sup +/ states are 1.44 +- 0.07 ns, 63.0 +- 3.2 ps, 12.4 +- 1.1 ps, and 4.0 +- 0.4 ps, respectively. The observed enhancement of the experimental B(E2)'s over rotational values is found to be in agreement with a simple band-mixing description.
