Lifetimes of 4+ and 2+ States in the Rotational Nuclei Dy160, Dy162, Er166, Er168, and Hf180

Abstract
Lifetimes of the 2+ and 4+ states of the ground-state rotational band were measured for five even-even rare-earth nuclei using delayed coincidence techniques. The half-lives obtained are presented in the following table in units of 1010 sec.
