E2 decay strength of the M1 scissors mode of ¹⁵⁶Gd and its first excited rotational state

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹⁵⁶Gd(γ, γ'), E=3.07 MeV; measured reaction products, Eγ, Iγ; deduced relative intensities for transitions, B(M1), B(E2), multipole mixing ratio of the decay transition from the scissors mode to the 2⁺₁ state in a deformed nucleus.
