description

A search for yrast traps in 150Dy has been made by studying the γ-ray decay following the 144Nd (12C, 6n) 150Dy and 146Nd (12C, 8n) reactions. Although an average value of about 30 units of angular momentum is imparted to the final nucleus using these reactions, no evidence is found for the existence of isomers with half-lives longer than 10 ns.
