Abstract
The population and the decay properties of the entry states in /sup 160/Yb have been investigated via the reactions of 136- and 149-MeV /sup 20/Ne with /sup 146/Nd with use of a 4..pi.. ..gamma..-ray multidetector system gated by a Ge counter for exit channel selection. A sudden decrease in the slope of the entry line accompanied by a change in the structure of the ..gamma..-ray spectrum is observed at multiplicity M/sub ..gamma../ = 25. These changes indicate that a sudden transition from a prolate to an oblate shape occurs over a narrow range of spin about 45h.
