De. Archer et al., ROTATIONAL BANDS IN YB-170 AND YB-171 AND THE PROJECTED SHELL-MODEL, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 57(6), 1998, pp. 2924-2943
Rotational bands in Yb-170 and Yb-171 have been studied with the react
ions Er-170(alpha,xn)Yb174-x at 35 and 40 MeV. Considerable extensions
have been made to the previously published level schemes, and new str
uctures have been found in each nucleus. Angular correlation measureme
nts and reduced transition probability [B(M1:I-->I-1)/B(E2:I-->I-2)] r
atios have been extracted. Detailed comparisons are made with the firs
t major projected shell model calculations for excited bands in an odd
-N nucleus Yb-171.
