Moment of Inertia of ${Dy}^{158}$ from Excitation of the Ground-State Band to Spin 22

The behavior of the moment of inertia for high-spin states in

{Dy}^{158}

has been studied by populating the ground-state band up to spin 22 through the reaction

{Nd}^{150} (C^{13}, 5 N) {Dy}^{158}

at bombarding energies of up to 72 MeV. The rate of increase of the moment of inertia

I

with rotational frequency rises abruptly in the region from spin 14 to 18. In the region of spin 22,

I

tends toward a more constant value.
