Abstract

Spin and parity assignments and lifetime measurements on high-spin states of

{}^{56}{Fe}

have been made by

γ

-ray spectroscopy in various reactions. The results show that the first

6^{+}

and

8^{+}

states are not members of the ground-state rotational band with prolate deformation, indicating a sudden change in nuclear shape at

J > 4

along the yrast band of

{}^{56}{Fe}

.
