Abstract
Lifetimes of low-lying states in La nuclei were measured using the recoil distance method. The nuclei were produced by the MoCl, and CdF, reactions, respectively. Experimental results were described in the framework of the core quasiparticle coupling model. It was found that the observed bands can be reasonably well described as and quasiparticle configurations coupled to elongated triaxial cores. No evidence for a rapid change of the nuclear shape in the band in La is seen in our data.
