Abstract
Lifetimes have been measured for transitions in the two multiquasiparticle rotational bands in the nucleus $^{136}\mathrm{Nd}$. The extracted transition probabilities are compared with results of tilted-axis cranking and random-phase approximation calculations. The bands are identified as being built on two distinct quasiparticle configurations, with very different associated transition rates. These findings are contrary to an earlier suggestion that the bands form a chiral-band pair in this even-even nucleus.
