Title: Rotational structures and their evolution with spin in {sup 152}Gd.

Abstract

The fusion-evaporation reaction involving a 175 MeV {sup 36}S beam and a {sup 124}Sn target was performed, and the emitted {gamma} rays were observed with the Gammasphere spectrometer. Significant additions to the level scheme of {sup 152}Gd were made in spite of the relative weakness of the {alpha}4n exit channel, being only {approx}2% of the total fusion cross-section. The high-spin behavior of {sup 152}Gd was compared with that of other N=88 nuclei. A striking similarity was observed with {sup 154}Dy and it is therefore suggested that the angular-momentum-induced shape changes that take place in {sup 154}Dy also occur in {sup 152}Gd in the 30--40{h_bar} spin range. This is supported by Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations which were used to interpret the high-spin bands. It is found that a better agreement between calculation and experiment is obtained if the Z=64 shell gap increases with a decreasing number of valence particles outside the doubly-closed {sub 64}{sup 146}Gd82 nucleus.
