Abstract
We report on the observation of a rotational band in Th-232 built on a 4+ state at 1414 keV, which shows all characteristics expected for th e band head of a pure K(pi) = 4+ two-phonon gammagamma-vibrational ban d: The excitation energy is about twice that of the gamma-band head, a ll observed decays lead to the gamma-band, and the B(E2) values betwee n the two bands have the appropriate strength expected for a harmonic surface vibration.
