Lifetime measurements of low-spin negative-parity levels in ¹⁶⁰Gd

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹⁶⁰Gd(n, n'γ), E=1.5-2.8 MeV; measured Eγ, Iγ, γ(θ), excitation functions, level half-lives by DSAM at the University of Kentucky Accelerator Laboratory (UKAL). ¹⁶⁰Gd; deduced levels, J, π, bands, multipolarities, mixing ratios, B(E2), B(E1), octupole vibrations; calculated potential energy surface in (Q₂₀, Q₃₀) plane. Comparison with generator coordinate method (GCM) calculations using the GognyD1S energy density functional.
