Octupole correlations in the structure of 0₂⁺ bands in the N=88 nuclei ¹⁵⁰Sm and ¹⁵²Gd

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹⁵²Sm(α, 4n), E=45 MeV; ¹⁴⁸Nd(α, 2n), E=25 MeV; measured Eγ, Iγ, γγ-coin, γγ(θ)(DCO), γ(θ, lin pol) using the AFRODITE at iThemba LABS, and JUROGAM II arrays at Jyvaskyla. ¹⁵⁰Sm, ¹⁵²Gd; deduced high-spin levels, J, π, bands, B(E1)/B(E2). Comparison of rotational frequencies with those in ²²⁰Rn bands. Permanent octupole deformation in first excited Kπ=0+ band. Comparison with Frauendorf's tidal wave model.
