L. Bargioni et al., DOUBLE OCTUPOLE EXCITATIONS IN THE N=84 NUCLEI ND-144 AND SM-146 - REPLY, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 53(4), 1996, pp. 2020-2021
Arguments in favor of the collective nature of the E3 transitions in N
d-144 are discussed. In the authors' opinion, the 12(+) level at 4354
keV remains a likely candidate for a double-octupole excitation.
