Analysis of the (p,t) reaction on /sup 158/Dy. [29. 9 MeV:Q, angular distributions, coupled-channels approach]

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
The level structure of /sup 156/Dy has been investigated with the (p,t) reaction at 29.9-MeV incident proton energy. Angular distributions were measured for transitions to 34 levels up to an excitation energy of 2.25 MeV in /sup 156/Dy. The ground-state Q value for this reaction was determined to be Q/sub 0/ = -7.535 +- 0.015 MeV. Optical-model parameters were obtained self-consistently in the coupled-channels approach, and reaction calculations using these parameters demonstrated a very large destructive interference between direct and indirect transfer to the 2/sup +/ member of the ground-state band. The anomalously strong transition to the J/sup ..pi../ = 0/sup +/ state at 674 keV is interpreted in the model of Van Rij and Kahana, leading to suggestions as to the structure of this state. The strong L = 2 transition to the J/sup ..pi../ = 2/sup +/ state at 890 keV is also discussed. Further evidence is given on the structure of the J/sup ..pi../ = 2/sup +/ state at 1520 keV, and the J/sup ..pi../ = 4/sup +/ state at 1627.3 keV, which has been suggested to belong to the ''super'' band in /sup 156/Dy.
