Title: First candidates for $$γ$$ vibrational bands built on the [ 505 ] 11 / 2- neutron orbital in odd- A Dy isotopes

Abstract

In this work, rotational structures have been measured using the Jurogam II and GAMMASPHERE arrays at low spin following the Gd 155 ( α , 2 n ) Dy 157 and Nd 148 ( C 12 , 5 n ) Dy 155 reactions at 25 and 65 MeV, respectively. We report high- K bands, which are conjectured to be the first candidates of a Kπ = 2+ γ vibrational band, built on the [ 505 ] 11 / 2- neutron orbital, in both odd- A Dy 155 , 157 isotopes. The coupling of the first excited K = 0+ states or the so-called β vibrational bands at 661 and 676 keV in Dy 154 and Dy 156 to the [ 505 ] 11 / 2- orbital, to produce a Kπ = 11 / 2- band, was not observed in both Dy 155 and Dy 157 , respectively. The implication of these findings on the interpretation of the first excited 0+ states in the core nuclei Dy 154 and Dy 156 are also discussed.
