General Comments:

Energies and wave functions of Kπ=0-, 2+, 2-, 3- and second 0- octupole-vibrational states were calculated by 1975Iv03. See 1983Pi04 for calculations of Kπ=0-, 0+ octupole-vibrational state energies; see 1970Ne08 for calculated energies of Kπ=0-,1-,2- and 3- bands; and 1982Zi02 for calculated energies of Kπ=0- band. The energies of the rotational states of the 0+ and 0- bands were calculated by 1995Al06, 1995De13 and 1995Jo11 and compared with the experimental level energies.

For calculations of equilibrium deformation parameters see, for example, 1975Iv03, 1982Du16, 1982Le19, 1983Ro14 and 1984Na22.

For calculations of electric quadrupole and hexadecapole moments see, for example, 1975Iv03 and 1983Ro14.

Effects of the Coriolis and centrifugal forces for nuclei with stable octupole deformation were examined; B(E3; 0+ to 3-,K=0) value and effective moments of inertia for g.s. and Kπ=0- bands were calculated as a function of octupole deformation by 1983Ro15. See also 1970Ne08 for calculated B(E3; 0+ to 3-) and 1977Ba45 for calculated B(E3; 0+ to 3-), B(E1; 0+ to 1-) values for Kπ=0- band.

See 1995De13 for calculated branching ratios for E1, E2, E3 transitions and comparisons with the experimental values.

Partial T1/2 for heavy ion emission were calculated by 1984Po08, 1985Po11 and 1995Si05. See 1995Na13 for discussions on multiclustering.

Jπ(level): The Jπ assignments for all levels of the g.s. band and the K=0 octupole-vibrational band are from the Coulomb excitation, γ-decay pattern, and the (HI,xnγ) data. The arguments for the 2+ and the 1- states of these two bands are given explicitly. Assignments made from (d,d’) data are based on deuteron angular distributions and on measured cross sections.

E(γ): From 226Fr β- decay, 230Th α decay and (HI,xnγ), except where noted.

I(γ): Relative photon intensity deexciting each level, adopted from 226Fr β- decay, 230Th α decay and (HI,xnγ) data.

M(γ): From ce work in 230Th α decay and 226Ac ε decay.
