GAMMA-RAY DEEXCITATIONS IN TM-168

The reaction Er-168(d,2n gamma) and conventional in-beam gamma-ray spe ctroscopy have been used to assign, for the first time, many gamma-ray transitions to Tm-168. On the basis of gamma-gamma coincidence data, some of these observed gamma rays are identified as transitions betwee n the low-spin members of rotational bands in Tm-168, specifically, th ose with K-pi = 3(+), (3(-)), and (4(+/-)).
