First candidates for $$γ$$ vibrational bands built on the neutron orbital in odd- Dy isotopes
Abstract
In this work, rotational structures have been measured using the Jurogam II and GAMMASPHERE arrays at low spin following the and reactions at 25 and 65 MeV, respectively. We report high- bands, which are conjectured to be the first candidates of a vibrational band, built on the neutron orbital, in both odd- isotopes. The coupling of the first excited states or the so-called β vibrational bands at 661 and 676 keV in and to the orbital, to produce a band, was not observed in both and , respectively. The implication of these findings on the interpretation of the first excited states in the core nuclei and are also discussed.
