Nuclear structure of 166Ho studied in neutron-capture, (d,p), and (d,3He) reactions

The nucleus 166Ho was studied with thermal and average resonance neutron capture and with (d,p) and (d,3He) reactions. We have devoted a large effort to the measurements of γγ-coincidence spectra in the broad energy interval 50–6243 keV. From these data and those of previous studies, the level scheme has been developed containing levels grouped into 23 rotational bands below 1 MeV. Of these, six bands are new and several others, known …
