Abstract

Gamma-ray energy correlations have been measured for several reactions leading to light-mass Hf isotopes with 160 ⩽A⩽166. The correlation spectra show ridge-valley structures up to high rotational frequencies from which a drop in J c (2) is deduced at high frequencies. This drop suggests that a large portion of the angular momentum is generated by aligning particles. It may also be explained by the theoretically predicted triaxial states with large deformation.
