Abstract
Angular distributions from the 158,160Gd (t, p) 160,162Gd reactions were studied, with 17 MeV tritons from the McMaster University tandem Van de Graaff accelerator. The reaction products were analyzed with a magnetic spectrograph and detected with photographic emulsions. Members of the ground state bands were populated up to 6+, and γ-vibrational bands were populated up to spin 4+ in both nuclides. Compared to the L = 0 strengths to the ground states, the excited strengths are as different as 20% and 50% for 160Gd and 162Gd. The considerable excited L = 0 strength found for 162Gd is interesting as there are no sudden changes of deformation or prominent shell structures in this region.
