Description

The multipolarity of the continuum transitions in 152Dy and 160Er has been deduced from γ-ray linear polarisation and angular distribution measurements. The yrast part for 160Er agrees with the predicted stretched E2 cascade. The statistical parts for both 152Dy and 160Er consist of a mixture of dipolar stretched and non-stretched transitions, predominantly of electrical character. Below 1.5 MeV, the data of 152Dy exhibit a different structure, and reveal a stretched M1 component in the low-energy region. (Auth.)
