- Abstract
- A detailed study of the structure of the doubly mid-shell nucleus Dy-170(66)104 has been carried out, following isomeric and beta decay. We have measured the yrast band up to the spin-parity J(pi) = 6(+) state, the K = 2 gamma-vibration band up to the 5(+) state, a low-lying negative-parity band based on a 2(-) state that could be a candidate for the lowest energy octupole vibration state within this nucleus, and a candidate for the K-pi = 6(+) two quasi-particle isomer. This state was determined to have an excitation energy of 1643.91(23) keV and a half life of 0.99(4) mu s, with a reduced hindrance for its decay to the ground-state band an order of magnitude lower than predicted by NpNn systematics. This is interpreted as being due to gamma-vibrational mixing from a near degeneracy of the isomer and the 6(+) state of the gamma band. Furthermore, the parent nucleus Tb-170 has been determined to have a half-life of 0.91((+18)(-13)) s with a possible spin-parity of 2(-). (C) 2016 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
