Abstract: (APS)
Weakly populated band structures have been established in Er156 at low to medium spins, following the Cd114(Ca48,6nγ) reaction at 215 MeV. High-fold γ-ray coincidence data were recorded in a high-statistics experiment with the Gammasphere spectrometer. Bands built on the second 0+ and 2+ (γ-vibrational) states have been established. A large energy staggering between the even- and odd-spin members of the γ-vibrational band suggests a γ-soft nature of this nucleus. An additional band is discussed as being based on a rotationally aligned (νh9/2,f7/2)2 structure, coexisting with the systematically observed, more favorable (νi13/2)2 aligned structure seen in this mass region.- 23.20.Lv
