Description

162 MeV 40Ca ions have been used to Coulomb excite the ground-state band of 159Tb up to spin 25/2. Lifetimes for levels up to spin 25/2 have been determined with DSA and recoil distance methods. Multipole mixing ratios for several cascade transitions were extracted from an analysis of #betta#-ray angular correlation data. Reduced transition probabilities thus deduced in a model-independent way were found to be in agreement with the rotational model with Q0=7.41+-0.06 exb and gsub(K)-gsub(K)=1.377+-0.010. (orig.)
