Description

High-resolution, low-background two-dimensional γ-ray energy correlations E(γ1) vs E(γ2) have been measured at high spin in 152Dy with the spectrometer TESSA2. Ridges characteristic of rotational behavior are observed for γ-ray energies 0.8< or =E(γ)< or =1.35 MeV. The separation of the ridges gives a dynamical moment of inertia scrI/sub band//sup(2) = (85 +- 2)h2 MeV-1 indicating a quadrupole deformation of epsilonroughly-equal0.51 for a rigid body assuming γ = 0
