Title: Observation of γ-vibrations and alignments built on non-ground-state configurations in ¹⁵⁶Dy

Abstract

Rotational structures in 156Dy have been populated with the 148Nd (12C, 4n) 156Dy reaction at 65 MeV and the resulting γ-ray transitions observed with Gammasphere. The even- and odd-spin members of the Kπ=2+ γ-band are observed to 32+ and 31+ respectively and the members of a possible γ-vibration built on the aligned S-band are observed to spins 28+ and 27+. An even-spin positive-parity band, observed to spin 24+, is a candidate for an aligned S-band built on the seniority-zero configuration of the 02 + state at 676 keV.
