Abstract

Excited states in ^{154,156,158,160}Gd have been populated through the multiple coulomb excitation process by ³²S, ⁴⁸Ti, ⁵⁸Ni ions. The ground band, γ-band and octupole K^π = 0⁻ band were extended to I^π = 16⁺, (12⁺), and (11⁻) state respectively in ¹⁶⁰Gd. The octupole K^π = 1⁻ band was extended to I^π = 9⁻ state in ¹⁵⁸Gd. Excitation cross sections of individual levels relative to that of the I^π = 4⁺ state in the ground band in each nucleus were compared with the simulation by the computer code GOSIA within the framework of the pure rotational model. From these comparisons the matrix elements for both intra-band and inter-band transitions were deduced.

Nuclear Data Sheets for A=160
2021, Nuclear Data Sheets
The experimental results published before May 2021 from the various reaction and decay studies leading to nuclides of Z=59 to Z=75, ¹⁶⁰Pr, ¹⁶⁰Nd, ¹⁶⁰Pm, ¹⁶⁰Sm, ¹⁶⁰Eu, ¹⁶⁰Gd, ¹⁶⁰Tb, ¹⁶⁰Dy, ¹⁶⁰Ho, ¹⁶⁰Er, ¹⁶⁰Tm, ¹⁶⁰Yb, ¹⁶⁰Lu, ¹⁶⁰Hf, ¹⁶⁰Ta, ¹⁶⁰W, ¹⁶⁰Re in the A=160 mass chain have been reviewed. These data are summarized and presented, together with adopted level schemes and properties. This work is intended to supersede the previous evaluation of the A=160 nuclides by C.W.Reich (2005Re18), which was published in Nuclear Data Sheets 105, 557 (2005).
Nuclear Data Sheets for A=158
2017, Nuclear Data Sheets
The experimental results published before February 2017 from the various reaction and decay studies leading to nuclides ¹⁵⁸Nd, ¹⁵⁸Pm, ¹⁵⁸Sm, ¹⁵⁸Eu, ¹⁵⁸Gd, ¹⁵⁸Tb, ¹⁵⁸Dy, ¹⁵⁸Ho, ¹⁵⁸Er, ¹⁵⁸Tm, ¹⁵⁸Yb, ¹⁵⁸Lu, ¹⁵⁸Hf, ¹⁵⁸Ta, ¹⁵⁸W in the A=158 mass chain have been reviewed. These data are summarized and presented, together with adopted level schemes and properties. Large sections of the mass chain are almost identical to the ones in the previous 2004He05 NDS publication by R.G. Helmer.

Physics at low spin in the mass 160 region: the search for tetrahedral shapes
2010, Nuclear Physics A
The low-lying, odd-spin negative parity bands in the mass 160 region have been identified as candidates for the rotation of a tetrahedral shape, as they have very weak in-band E2 transitions. We report the observation of such bands in ¹⁶⁰Yb and ¹⁵⁴Gd. They are crossed by 2 quasiparticle bands which allow band mixing calculations to be carried out to derive relative quadrupole moments. However, those studied are not consistent with zero, as required for tetrahedral shape. The aligned angular momenta of the bands suggest an octupole vibrational assignment.

The experimental results from the various reaction and decay studies leading to nuclides in the $A = 160$ mass chain have been reviewed. The elements included range from Sm ( $Z = 62$ ) through Re ( $Z = 75$ ). These data are summarized and presented, together with adopted level schemes and properties. This work is intended to supersede the previous evaluation of the $A = 160$ nuclides by this author (1996Re22), which was published in Nuclear Data Sheets 78, 547 (1996).
