Transition from Prolate to Oblate to Triaxial Shapes in158Yb
The decay of the entry states in ISIYb populated in the reactions of 149 MeV ,oNe with ,44Nd and lUNd has been investigated with a 4" multidetector system gated by a Ge counter. The average excitation energy, the ,.-ray spectra and the angular distribu tions as a function of multiplicity show several changes in the ,.-ray decay. These changes suggest a transition from prolate to particle aligned oblate connguration at low spin. At 1- 38-48 collective transitions with dipole and quad rupole component possibly built on high K single particle states are observed. Furthennore, above 1- 48 the dipole component disappears suggesting a further change toward more triaxial shape.
High Spin Phenomena in the Mass 100-200 Region Seen Through the Crystal Ball
The average properties of the gamma ray entry region and the decay from it are studied systematically, for 49 nuclear systems, in the spin spectrometer. Preliminary results are given for the mass the neutron number dependence of the gamma ray fold distribution and of unresolved γ spectra. The possibility of gating simultaneously on narrow regions of fold and excitation energy is exploited.
