Abstract: | High spin states have been identified in 156Dy using (HI, xn) reactions and γ-γ coincidence techniques. The ground state band does not show any “phase change” or “back bending” behaviour up to spin 18+. However a second sequence, based on the β-vibrational band, does show back bending at spin 12+. The two sequences intersect just below spin 16+ with the 16+, 18+ and 20+ members of the β-band sequence becoming yrast levels. Branching ratios have been obtained for transitions above and below the bend at spin 12+. The data are discussed in terms of a simple band-crossing model of back bending. |
