General Comments:

Level energies for one-phonon octupole-vibrational states, and B(E3) values for the excitation of these octupole-vibrational bands were calculated by 1970Ne08 and 1975Iv03. See 1975Iv03 for calculated components of the K=0, 1, 2, 3 octupole-vibrational state wave functions. See 1988Na08 for calculated energies of K=0+ g.s. and K=0- octupole-vibrational levels. Others: 2011Na24, 2008Ch15.

The first quadrupole state with K=2+ (γ-vibrational state) and B(E2) value for the excitation of this state were calculated by 1965Be40 and 1975Iv03. See 1965Be40 and 1975Iv03 for the calculated components of the γ-vibrational state wave function.

Equilibrium deformation parameters were examined and calculated by 1970Ga12, 1981Gy03, 1982Du16, 1983Ro14, 1984Na22.

For calculations of quadrupole and hexadecapole moments, see 1970Ga12, 1978Ne13, and 2010Vr01.

E(level): Deduced by evaluators from a least-squares fit to adopted γ-ray energies.

Jπ(level): Spin/parity assignments are based on rotational and vibrational structures. Specific arguments based on γ-ray multipolarities are given for individual levels.

M(γ): From ce measurements in 230Pa β- decay and in (α,4nγ) reaction.
