In-beamγ-ray studies ofDy151(N=85)

Abstract
Levels in Dy151 (N=85) have been studied using the (C12,3n) reaction. Prompt and delayed γγ coincidences, excitation functions, and angular distributions were used to study the in-beam γ rays. Three ΔI=2 bands are observed: one built on the 72 ground state with transitions of 775 and 736 keV extending up to the 152 state, another on a 92 state at 527.1 keV extending to the 212 level, and a third on a 132+ state at 968.3 keV extending to the 252+ level. The energy spacings in the h92 and f72 bands resemble those in the core nucleus Dy150. The two lowest transitions in the i132 band also resemble those in the Dy150 core while the 252+212+ transition has an energy close to that of the 6+4+ transition in Dy152.
