Reduced electric dipole transition probabilities for transitions in /sup 156-160/Gd and 160Dy

Description

The mean lifetimes, obtained from a least-squares fit of the calculated line shapes to the experimental data for the 3- → 2+ and 3- → 4+ transitions, of the 3- states in 156158160Gd, and 160Dy were found to be (0.11 +- 0.03), (0.78 +- 0.21), (0.074 +- 0.020), and (0.32 +- 0.09) ps, respectively. Experimental results for the reduced transition probabilities, B(E1, J/sub i/ → J/sub f/), deduced from the mean lifetimes of the 3- states are tabulated along with B(E1) values for E1 transitions from the decay of two K,J/sup π/ = 0,2+ states feeding the K = 0 and 1 octupole bands in 158Gd. 1 table
