Abstract

Lifetimes of excited states in164Hf were measured using the Doppler-shift recoil-distance method. Gamma-gamma coincidences at eleven target-stopper distances were measured using the twelve Compton-suppressed Ge-detectors of the OSIRIS spectrometer. From the coincidence spectra the intensities of the Doppler-shifted and unshiftedγ-lines were determined. The quadrupole momentsQ tof transitions within the rotational bands derived from the lifetimes are constant within the experimental uncertainties up to the 18+ state. TheQ tvalue for the transition between the ground- and the neutroni 13 2/2 band (s-band) which is strongly reduced compared to the values of the in-band transitions is used to deduce a band interaction energy of 34 keV ≦V≦57 keV.
