Abstract

The population of high-spin yrast and near yrast states of 1347 Gd and the associated multiplicity of feeding transitions have been studied in the 124 Sn ( 28 Si, 5n) reaction at 139, 146 and 152 MeV. The yrast feeding is found to be independent of the initial angular momentum distribution and very weak for states of spin greater than 30 ħ. The average multiplicity of γ-transitions is found to increase with increasing beam energy. The experimental results are interpreted in terms of collective excitations within rotational bands that channel the γ- decay towards the known oblate single-particle yrast states below ~30 ħ.
