Rotational bands in a transitional nucleus: 151Sm
Abstract
The 150Nd(α, 3n)151Sm reaction has been used to populate states in 151Sm. A cascade of E2 transitions which belong to a very distorted positive parity band up to, the spin 332+ member is observed. Unlike other studies of this positive parity band in N = 89 rare earth nuclei, many other transitions feed the states with I+12 odd. Some of these originate in states which seem to constitute the other half of the positive parity band with I+12 even. …
