Description

Intermediate energy proton scattering has been used to probe the spin part of the recently discovered low-lying isovector magnetic dipole transitions in the rotational rare earth nuclei 156Gd and 164Dy. A large spin response is found in 164Dy, whereas in 156Gd the results are consistent with the picture of a predominantly convective excitation. The results are discussed in the context of the IBA-2 model and recent RPA calculations. (orig.)
